Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  2. 2 Stir brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon together in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. 3 Remove crescent roll dough from the can and separate into 4 rectangles. Press the seams together tightly to seal the dough.
  4. 4 Spread butter mixture evenly over each rectangle, not going all the way to the edges. Start at the bottom of each long edge and roll tightly into a 10-inch log, sealing any open seams. Bring the ends of each roll together to form an oval shape, making sure you press tightly to seal so the filling doesn't ooze out in the air fryer and burn.
  5. 5 Place one or two at a time in the prepared air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  6. 6 Air-fry in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes per batch. Remove to a wire rack and cool.
  7. 7 Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Divide mixture among 3 bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl.
  8. 8 Drizzle icing over each cooled cake and decorate with sugar or sprinkles. Let icing dry before serving, about 10 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Cream sugar, butter, margarine, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract together in a large bowl. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating briefly after each addition.
  3. 3 Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add 1 cup at a time to the creamed mixture until a dough forms, using your hands if and when necessary. Turn out onto a floured board and knead briefly until smooth and a bit sticky, but not sticking to your hands. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Pull off small pieces of dough, 1 at a time, and roll into a rope. Gently place one end towards the middle, followed by the other end, in a way to slightly overlap each other. Repeat to form remaining cookies and place on the prepared cookie sheets.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven in batches until just turning a light brown on the bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool slightly.
  6. 6 Meanwhile mix confectioners sugar, milk, and lemon juice together in a small bowl to form a thin glaze.
  7. 7 Dip warm cookies in the glaze and sprinkle with sugar or sprinkles. Let set on waxed paper or a cooling rack to dry.
