Preheat the oven to 375° F and spray an 8-inch round pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
On a large cutting board, carefully roll out the crescent roll dough.
8 ounce Crescent Roll Rounds, 2 Tablespoons salted butter
Use a pastry brush to coat the dough with melted butter.
In a small bowl, add the cinnamon and sugar and stir to fully combine. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
1/4 cup granulated white sugar, 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly across the dough.
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Gently roll up the dough and slice into 8 even rounds. Arrange them into the prepared pan, about 1″ apart.
Sprinkle the top of the rolls with any leftover cinnamon/sugar mixture and/or chocolate chips (that might have slipped out during the “roll-up” phase).
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the tops just start to brown.
While the rolls are cooking, make the vanilla glaze.
In a small saucepan, add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until fully combined and all the lumps are out.
When the rolls are done, brush immediately with the glaze.
