Crescent Cinnamon Rolls

This is a super simple recipe that makes the most savory crescent rolls I have ever had! I knew they were going to be good just from reading the recipe, but I did not anticipate just how amazing they would taste. I think butter (and lots of it) has something to do with it. Definitely won’t be making these regularly; they are just too good.

I’m thinking they will make a perfect Christmas morning tradition. Anything with cinnamon seems Christmasy to me, but they could certainly be enjoyed any time of the year.
