Cinnamon Twists – Only four ingredients to make these light and flaky cinnamon sugar twists. Serve with a side of frosting for a delicious treat.
Cinnamon twists with puff pastry are easy to make, maybe too easy. You guys, these things are amazing!! All the flavor of a cinnamon roll twisted up into a buttery, flaky twist in under 15 minutes.
Using store bought puff pastry sheets makes these twists a cinch to put together. My kids love helping me spread on the cinnamon sugar mixture and twisting them up.
Ingredients Needed
puff pastry, butter, sugar, cinnamon, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.
How to Make Cinnamon Twists:
- Thaw a sheet of puff pastry dough.
- Brush each side of the dough with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Make sure to lightly press the sugar mixture into the dough to make sure it sticks.
- Cut dough into 1-inch strips. Hint- Use a pizza cutter.
- Twist each strip and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until they have puffed up.
- Drizzle with frosting made up of powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. I personally like to use the frosting as a dip.
For a quick snack, dessert or breakfast these cinnamon twists are a home run. I HIGHLY recommend doubling this recipe because they will be eaten quickly. They are seriously addicting!
