Serves: 30

Cooking Time: 15 min

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 (17.25-ounce) package frozen puff pastry dough, thawed

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray.
    
2. In a shallow bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; mix well and set aside.
    
3. Place 2 sheets of pastry dough side by side lengthwise on a work surface and pinch middle seam together. Brush dough with some beaten egg then sprinkle with 5 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar mixture.
    
4. Starting with one narrow end, roll up jelly roll-style into the center; repeat with the other end. Slice into 1/2-inch pieces. Brush one side of each slice with remaining beaten egg and dip in remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place coated-side up on prepared baking sheets.
