Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls (5 rolls)
- Christmas Sprinkles (as desired)
- Icing (included in the cinnamon roll can)
- Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper (for baking pan)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Separate Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and pull them apart so that you have five individual rolls.
- Shape the Tree: Unravel each cinnamon roll and weave the dough back and forth on the baking pan, arranging them to form a Christmas tree shape.
- Secure the Shape: Pinch the edges of the tree lightly to help prevent it from unraveling while baking. If it starts to separate while baking, remove it from the oven and gently press it back together.
- Bake: Place the shaped dough in the oven and bake for 23 to 27 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown.
- Cool and Decorate: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before adding the included icing and decorating with Christmas sprinkles.
- Serve: Enjoy your festive cinnamon roll Christmas tree warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- If the cinnamon roll dough begins to separate or lose shape during baking, take the pan out briefly and gently pinch the pieces together.
- You can use parchment paper for an easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- This recipe yields about 5 servings, perfect for sharing with family or friends.
- Customize the decoration by using different colored sprinkles or edible glitter for extra festive flair.
