Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
  • Step 
    2
    In small bowl, mix granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture forms coarse crumbs the size of small peas; set aside.
  • Step 
    3
    Unroll dough on work surface; press into 15x9-inch rectangle (if using crescent rolls, press seams to seal). Spread pumpkin evenly over dough to within 1/4 inch of edges. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the sugar mixture.
  • Step 
    4
    Roll dough up starting at one long side; pinch seam to seal. Using sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice dough lengthwise all the way through.
  • Step 
    5
    Keeping cut sides up, bring ends together, twisting dough together and spiraling into 5 1/2-inch circle. Place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.
  • Step 
    6
    Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until deep golden brown and dough is baked through center. Cool 10 minutes; remove from cookie sheet.
  • Step 
    7
    In small microwavable bowl, place cream cheese. Microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds to soften. Stir in powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the milk until smooth, adding additional milk until thin enough to drizzle. Using fork, drizzle on top of crescent twist.
