Golden crescent dough bundled around gooey cheese and slathered with rich garlic butter turn out to be a crowd-pleasing snack or side. They're soft, cheesy, and have that satisfying garlic kick in every warm bite.
Letting the dough chill out on the counter until it's no longer cold makes it easier to handle and helps keep it from ripping.

My kids have a blast rolling these up with me, and we’ve realized a smear of marinara before the cheese makes them kind of like gooey pizza pockets.
Tasty Ways to Serve
Serve them with ranch or marinara for dunking. They pair really well with spaghetti or as party snacks during a football game.
Fun Twists to Try
Mix in pesto, spice it with pepperoni, or use a combo of cheeses. Shake everything bagel seasoning on before baking for extra crunch.
How to Store Like a Pro
Pop leftovers in a sealed container for up to 2 days. Toss them in the oven or air fryer to crisp them back up.
After loads of test runs, I found that if you overlap the dough just a little as you roll, you get a tight seal that keeps the cheese from leaking everywhere.
