Cinnamon Drops

Cinnamon Drops
~
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 (7 1/2 ounce) cans Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits
¼ cup fat-free buttery spread
2 tablespoons low-fat, creamy deluxe frosting, optional
~
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with nonfat cooking spray. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Cut biscuit into quarters. Put a dab of buttery spread on each biscuit piece and coat with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Set the coasted dough pieces on the prepared baking pan with the pieces touching each other. Some overlapping will occur. If there is cinnamon-sugar mixture remaining, sprinkle it over the dough in the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
If frosting is desired, microwave it for approximately 10-15 seconds to melt it into a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the Cinnamon Drops. Let them cool for several minutes before eating.
