Recipe: Orange Pecan Crisps (using refrigerated crescent roll dough) (1985)

ORANGE PECAN CRISPS

1 (8-oz.) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Quick Crescent Dinner Rolls*
2 tablespoons Parkay margarine, softened
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons sugar

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles. Overlap long sides 1/2 inch; firmly press edges and perforations to seal. Press or roll to form 14x8-inch rectangle. Spread margarine over dough.

In small bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans, orange peel and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over margarine.

Starting at shorter side, roll up jelly roll fashion; pinch edges to seal. Cut into 8 slices. Place cut side down on large ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each by hand to a 4 to 5-inch circle. Sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon sugar.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 9 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Serve warm or cool.

*To use 4-oz. can crescent dough, cut the above ingredients in half.
