Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 count) Pillsbury™ refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) coloured sugar

Steps

  •  
    1
    Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Separate dough into 8 rolls. Use kitchen scissors or knife to cut each roll into 4 pieces.
  •  
    2
    Shape each piece into small ball, and place on cookie sheet. Place 10 balls in a single layer, clustered and touching together to form a round disk shape. Continue with a formation of 8 balls, then 6 balls, then 4 balls, 3 balls and finally a single ball. There will be a total of 6 disks (including the single ball), which will form the layers of the tree after baking.
