How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Bite-Size Biscuits

1. Get Ready & Preheat
   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Melt butter in a shallow microwave-safe dish. In another bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Generously coat an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Cut the Biscuits
   Using kitchen scissors or a knife, cut each biscuit into three pieces. Separate pieces so they don’t stick together.
3. Coat & Arrange
   Dip each biscuit piece into melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar. Place evenly in the prepared dish.
4. Bake
   Bake for 15–18 minutes, until deeply golden on top. Let cool slightly.
5. Mix & Add the Icing
   Whisk confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm biscuit bites before serving.
