2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the sausage links in a skillet until browned and fully cooked.
3. Open the cinnamon rolls and unroll each piece into strips.
4. Wrap each sausage with a strip of dough, overlapping slightly.
5. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
6. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
7. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make glaze.

Notes
Use fully cooked sausages to avoid excess grease in the dough.
Don’t overbake or the dough may become dry instead of soft.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or maple syrup to the glaze.
