Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Cinnamon Twists

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out defrosted puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar with ground cinnamon.
Brush the rolled pastry with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over it.
Cut the pastry into 1-inch strips and twist each strip several times.
If desired, brush twisted pastries with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes and dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.
