Don’t have time for cinnamon rolls? Same. Enter cinnamon twists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are faster, crunchier, and somehow more addictive. Puff pastry + butter + cinnamon sugar + a quick twist = a snack that disappears before the coffee is done brewing. Let’s twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Makes 12 twists.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Twists:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd cup granulated sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For the Glaze (Optional but Mandatory):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • \u00bd cup powdered sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1-2 tablespoons milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u00bc teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Assemble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Roll puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Brush generously with melted butter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the entire surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Fold the pastry in half lengthwise, like closing a book.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Step 3: Twist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Cut the folded pastry into 12 strips (each about 1 inch wide).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Hold each strip at both ends and twist in opposite directions 3-4 times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Place twists on the baking sheet, pressing down the ends gently.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Step 4: Bake & Glaze<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Drizzle glaze over warm twists. Let set for 5 minutes. Then fight for the last one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Prep Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes | Bake Time:<\/strong> 15 minutes | Total Time:<\/strong> 25 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Yield:<\/strong> 12 twists | Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Storage Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To re-crisp, pop in an air fryer at 350\u00b0F for 3 minutes or in an oven for 5 minutes. They’re still good cold, but warm is a religious experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
