  • Spread the parchment paper across the cookie tray.
  • Now, separate the 2 cinnamon rolls together at a time.
  • Do this 4 more times. You want pairs of 2. 
  • Next, unwind a pair of 2 cinnamon rolls but keep them together if you can. 
  • It's time to make ONE side of the pretzel.
  • Just braid from end to end and set on one side of the tray.
  • Repeat this and do it for the other side of the pretzel.
  • Of course, repeat again for the bottom of the pretzel. 
  • Now you need to make the 'x' across the center of the pretzel.
  • It's best to watch the video for this.
  • Basically, you are going to braid another set of rolls and go top to bottom in a diagonal, then for the other side as well. 
  • Do leave overhang at the base of the pretzel. 
  • Bake at 375° for just 12-15 minutes (ovens vary so watch yours).

***TIP***

  • Remove, and while the tray is cooling, place the icing cups n the middle of the pan (sitting on the metal lids so the plastic does not melt from the heat).

  • What you are doing is warm the icing up so it is easier to spread. 
  • Once the pretzel is cooled, spread the icing across the pretzel with a spatula, and if wanted you can sprinkle with Holiday Sprinkles.
