- Roll 1-1¼ pounds of dough into 12" x 18" rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons softened butter. Combine 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and ¼ cup brown sugar; sprinkle on dough.
- Fold dough into triangle, overlapping edges; leaving ½" uncovered along bottom. Cut 1/2" off bottom and twist to form tree trunk. Place tree on greased cookie sheet and position trunk.
