Instructions

  1. First, thaw the puff pastry and softened butter on counter, about 30 minutes.

  2. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line a large cookie sheet with parchment.

  3. In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, blend together the butter, brown sugar, sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

  4. Sprinkle surface with flour and layout one sheet of puff pastry. Roll out the pastry dough.

  5. Using a 3 inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out 15 circles. Discard scraps.

  6. Repeat the two previous steps with second sheet of puff pastry. 

  7. Layout all the circles and place about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp of cinnamon butter mixture in the middle of each circle.

  8. In a small bowl, beat one egg.

  9. Using a pastry brush, spread egg wash around the edges of the circles.

  10. Fold over the circle and press together. Use a fork to crimp the edges closed.

  14. Let cool.

  15. If desired, mix the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl, and drizzle over tops of crescents.

  16. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
  • Be sure not to overfill the circles or the crescent will pop open in the oven, I didn't use all of the cinnamon mixture.
  • The crescent will also pop open in the oven if they aren't sealed and crimped well.
  • You can use a 3 or 4 inch round cookie cutter if desired.
