Almond Croissant Cinnamon Rolls 

Almond Croissant Cinnamon Rolls combine the flaky, buttery charm of croissants with the irresistible warmth and sweetness of cinnamon rolls. Using store-bought croissant dough makes the process simple while preserving those irresistible layers. A generous spread of melted butter, fragrant cinnamon, and rich almond paste transforms the dough into an indulgent treat. Baked to golden-brown perfection and finished with a glossy egg wash and delicate powdered sugar drizzle, these rolls deliver a delightful brunch or dessert experience. Ready in about 40 minutes, they fill your kitchen with an inviting aroma and will vanish faster than you can say "seconds." 

Ingredients (serves ~8)

• 1 package (8 oz) store‑bought croissant dough
  
  

• ½ cup almond paste
  
  

• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  
  

• ¼ cup powdered sugar (for drizzling)
  
  

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  
  

• 1 egg (for egg wash)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Prepare your workspace with a floured surface.
   
   

2. Unroll the croissant dough carefully to retain the flaky layers.
   
   

3. Brush the dough evenly with the melted butter. Sprinkle cinnamon over the surface, then spread the almond paste evenly. 

4. Tightly roll the dough into a log, then slice into equal pieces. 

5. Place the rolls, cut‑side up, into a greased baking dish. Brush them with the egg wash to achieve a shiny, golden finish.
   
   

6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the rolls are puffed and golden-brown.
   
   

7. Allow to cool slightly, then drizzle with powdered sugar before serving.
