Cinnamon Puff Pastry Twists

This recipe is similar to the cheese straws that I made before. I omitted the eggs so that my middle daughter could eat these. Made these the night before for a party the next day.

Here’s what I did:

1)     Thawed puff pastry sheet for 40 min at room temperature. Preheat oven for 350 degrees

2)     Made the cinnamon sugar, combining ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon

3)     On a floured cutting board, rolled the puff pastry a little, then cut in half and into strips

4)     Sprinkled the cinnamon sugar on top

5)     Twisted the puff pastry strip tightly with the cinnamon sugar on the outside

6)     Baked for 12 min at 350 degrees.

3. Twist each strip. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 1½ inches apart. Bake until golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
