Convenient crescent roll dough hurries along these yummy glazed rolls. I found the recipe in a cookbook. It's great with a cup of hot coffee. —Helen Lipko, Martinsburg, Pennsylvania

Big Batch Baked GoodsWe enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

I loved the recipe. Was the ticket for breakfast dessert (after sausage and eggs). Grandkids loved it. I'll keep low-fat crescent rolls on hand just to make the cinnamon rolls. Lori B.

My husband absolutely loved these as did I. And as much as we both love sugar, I think the next time I will make the glaze without the sugar in it. There is so much on the rolls itself that I think the sugar added to the glaze too makes it just a little bit of an overload. But it is still definitely a keeper in my recipe box, and I cannot wait to make these again! Thanks for a quick and awesome recipe!

Great recipe, I made it using recipe creations instead of the crescent rolls. I will make it again, but will probably double the filling just for more flavor.

This looks so good. I have a tube of crescent rolls in the fridge, and will be making this for breakfast on the weekend.

I made this simple, but delicious dessert for our family Christmas gathering. They all loved the rolls. Thanks for a fun and simple dish that most everybody will enjoy. My son has already told me not to buy any more canned cinnamon rolls, but make these instead.

These were so easy! I made them for an after school snack, and they were all gone before school was out. Very easy and very good.

They are tasty but very small. Be sure to securely pinch together the perforations on the crescent rolls otherwise the dough will break apart. The recipe says it makes 9 rolls, I ended up with 8 little rolls. Also, use an 8" square pan or 9" round cake pan, no larger because then the pan will be much too big for the number of rolls.

The rolls were pretty tasty, but I should have cooked them just a bit longer. Will try again.

A very nice treat for Sunday morning breakfast. I prepared them in advance and baked in the morning, while getting breakfast ready. Everybody loved it. I'll try some of the add-ons from other readers next time, for a different taste.
