Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 2 to 3 times. Using floured hands, press dough into an 8x4-inch rectangle. Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Cut dough lengthwise into 8 strips.

Fold 1 dough strip in half and press ends together, then twist it into a 6-inch rope. Place the rope on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough strips; placing ropes 1 inch apart.
Bake until golden brown (13 to 15 minutes). Let cool completely on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, cream, and orange juice or extract. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over cinnamon twists and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon mixture.
