Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) Crescent roll dough (refrigerated)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, separating it into the pre-cut triangles.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, granulated sugar, orange zest, and vanilla extract until well combined to create a spreadable filling.

Step 4

Gently spread the orange butter mixture evenly over the surface of each dough triangle.

Step 5

Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough tightly toward the pointed end to form a swirl. Pinch the ends slightly to seal.

Step 6

Place the swirls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the swirls are golden brown and puffed.

Step 8

While the swirls are baking, prepare the orange glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Once the swirls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Drizzle the orange glaze over the warm swirls using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delightful Orange Crescent Swirls!
