Easy Cinnamon Rolls

Another one from 'Fast Fix Family Food', these easy cinnamon rolls were truly that- really simple and such a sweet way to start the day! Just 25 minutes start to finish. We'll definitely make them again!

1 8 oz. package (8) refrigerated crescent-roll dough
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 2 teaspoons orange juice or milk (we used milk- but I'd be interested to taste it with orange juice)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8x 1 1/2 or 9 1/2 inch round baking pan; set aside. Unroll dough (do not separate); press perforations to seal. Brush dough with melted butter. In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and granulated sugar; sprinkle over dough. Starting from a long side, roll up dough. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into eight 1 1/2 inch pieces. Arrange pieces, cut sides up, in prepared pan, flattening each roll slightly.

2. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Remove and cool rolls slightly in pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan. In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar, vanilla and enough orange juice/milk to make an icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls. Serve warm. Makes 8 rolls.
