Ingredients
  

2 cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

    Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and lay it flat, sealing the seams to create a rectangle.

      In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

        Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, making sure to keep it as tight as possible. Pinch the seams to seal and slice the roll into 1-inch pieces.

          In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and chopped pecans (if using). Add a layer of this mixture to the bottom of the greased baking dish.

            Place the sliced cinnamon rolls on top of the brown sugar layer in the baking dish, making sure to leave a bit of space between each roll for rising.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.

                While the rolls are baking, whip up the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

                  Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze generously over the top.

                    Serve warm and enjoy the gooey goodness of your cinnamon roll hack!

                        - Presentation Tips: Serve the cinnamon rolls directly from the baking dish, drizzled with glaze, and with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon sugar on top for added flair.
