Difficulty: Easy

Cook time: 13 to 15 minutes

Servings: Makes 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon. In another small bowl, whisk together egg and milk.

On a lightly floured surface, unfold one sheet puff pastry. Brush lightly with egg mixture, and sprinkle with half of cinnamon-sugar mixture. Using a pastry wheel, cut dough lengthwise into ⅜-inch-wide strips. Roll both ends of each strip inward to meet in the center. Place pastry 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Repeat procedure with remaining puff pastry.

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks. Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days.

Kitchen Tip: For best results, only work with one sheet of puff pastry at a time. Refrigerate the remaining sheet until ready to use.
