Christmas Cinnamon Rolls
Open the tube and unroll the dough.
1 tube cinnamon rolls
Form into a tree/Santa shape by zig-zagging the cinnamon roll back and forth to make a triangle. Start with a longer piece and continue to zig-zag smaller as you go.
Place them in the air fryer and cook for 7-8 minutes at 360 degrees F.
Use a spatula to take them out of the air fryer and decorate them immediately.
For Christmas trees: Coat the cinnamon roll in green icing. Quickly add the sprinkles before the icing sets. Add a star sprinkle on top. Use a dot of icing on the Reese's Mini and stick it on the bottom to make a tree trunk.
