Scale
- 2/3 cup granulaed sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, defrosted but cold
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread half of the mixture into an even layer on your work surface and cover with the puff pastry, and then spread the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the entire top of the puff pastry.
- Use the rolling pin to press the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the puff pastry, and help to spread the pastry out a bit.
- Tightly (and evenly) roll each of the long sides of the puff pastry toward the center of the pastry.
- With a sharp knife cut the roll in 1/2 inch slices, being careful not to lose all the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place cut cookies on prepared baking sheets, two to three inches apart to allow for for the the pastry to puff up.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and puffy.
