Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 30 mins


• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). grease a baking sheet.
• combine sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. roll pie dough a work surface and cut each circle into 16 wedges. lightly spread butter each piece of dough stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge. place 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon miniature chocolate chips on the buttered portion of the dough pieces.
• lightly moisten the point of each wedge with water and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. roll each wedge from the outside toward the point, creating a croissant-shape; pinch edges closed.
• beat egg white in a bowl, adding enough food coloring to reach desired color. dip the top of each croissant-shaped dough in egg white mixture and place the prepared baking sheet. sprinkle each with cinnamon-sugar and top with sprinkles. place 2 miniature chocolate chips on 1 end of each for the "eyes".
• bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
