You can serve them as a breakfast or dessert. You can even make them for both. They take only 15 minutes.
As far as I can recall, my mom used to make crescent rolls for Christmas dinner. For as long as I can remember, those simple buttery, doughy rolls were something I loved about Thanksgiving and Christmas. She never made them like this. The genius trick is to take the same crescent roll dough recipe and make a cinnamon roll. These are a great choice for breakfast or dessert, but they’re so easy to make you can have them both.
