Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
2. Roll each crescent roll sheet into a 12×16-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. If using perforated dough, pinch seams to seal.

Step 2: Make the Filling

1. In a medium bowl, mix softened butter with chives and minced garlic.
2. Spread about ⅓ of the garlic butter mixture onto one rolled-out sheet of dough. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the buttered dough.

Step 3: Roll and Cut

1. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
2. Cut the log in half crosswise, then slice each half lengthwise to create 4 sections. Repeat with the other sheets, yielding 12 sections total.

Step 4: Form the Cruffins

1. Roll each section into a cinnamon-roll shape with the layered side facing outward, tucking the ends neatly.
2. Place each rolled cruffin into the prepared muffin tin.

Step 5: Bake

1. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up.

Step 6: Make the Garlic Butter

1. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic, chives, and kosher salt.

Step 7: Finish

1. Brush the warm cruffins with the garlic butter immediately after removing them from the oven. Serve warm and enjoy!
