# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Unroll crescent roll dough onto a clean board. Cut dough lengthwise in half, then slice each half into twelve 2-inch strips to yield 24 strips.

Place one cocktail sausage on each dough strip and roll tightly to fully enclose the sausage.

Position the wrapped sausages on the baking sheet, leaving approximately 2 inches between each for even baking.
05 -
Use a pastry brush to lightly coat each wrapped sausage with beaten egg for a shiny golden crust.
06 -
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
07 -
While sausages bake, mix melted butter, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
08 -
Immediately after baking, generously brush each piece with the garlic butter mixture for enhanced flavor.
09 -
Serve warm with preferred dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, ranch, or barbecue sauce.

Using fresh crescent dough and high-quality sausages improves the overall result.
