Cinnamon Roll Christmas Tree Recipes

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Remove the cinnamon rolls from the tube and place on a large cutting board or a clean work surface; reserve the icing for later. Unravel 1 roll into a long strip of dough. Fold the strip in an accordion fashion, making each fold slightly wider than the last, to create a Christmas-tree shape. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 4 rolls and space the Christmas trees apart on the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and puffed up, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the green food coloring directly into the container of frosting with a rubber spatula until the desired shade is achieved (we added about 30 drops).
• When the trees are ready, let them cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, transfer the reserved cinnamon roll icing to a small resealable plastic bag and refrigerate until slightly chilled.
• When the trees are cool enough to touch, spread desired amount of green frosting onto each and spread evenly. Garnish with holiday-themed sprinkles. Snip a tiny corner from the bag of icing and pipe a garland onto each tree. Add a yellow candy to the tip of each tree to resemble a star.
