Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt, mixing well.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate into triangles. Brush each triangle lightly with softened unsalted butter.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered triangle dough and press lightly to adhere.
  5. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle towards the point and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until puffed and golden brown, watching carefully to avoid burning.
