Step 7: Serve
Once the crescent rolls are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Drizzle the glaze over the top of the warm rolls, or simply dust with powdered sugar if you prefer.
Serve the cranberry crescent rolls warm and enjoy!
Cook Notes
Cranberry Sauce: You can use store-bought or homemade cranberry sauce. Whole berry cranberry sauce adds extra texture, while jellied cranberry sauce creates a smoother filling.
Cream Cheese: Adding cream cheese to the filling gives a creamy texture and balances the tartness of the cranberries. You can skip it if you prefer just cranberry filling.
Cinnamon and Orange Zest: These optional ingredients enhance the holiday flavors, making the rolls even more festive and fragrant.
Variations
Cranberry Walnut Crescent Rolls
Add a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans to the filling for added crunch and flavor.
Cranberry Brie Crescent Rolls
Swap the cream cheese for brie cheese. The combination of creamy brie and tart cranberry sauce creates a rich and indulgent filling.
Spiced Cranberry Rolls
Mix ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice into the cranberry sauce before spreading it on the dough for a warm, spiced flavor.
