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 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.
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.
