Ingredients
 

  • 1 sheet (320 g) puff pastry rolled out into a rectangle
  • ½ cup (100 g) white sugar
  • ½ tbsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Place the rolled-out puff pastry sheet on parchment paper and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar. Fold in both sides towards the middle.
  • Sprinkle exposed puff pastry halves with cinnamon sugar.
  • Fold in both sides towards the middle once again and sprinkle exposed puff pastry with cinnamon sugar.
  • Fold in one side over the other and sprinkle all around with remaining cinnamon sugar.
  • Wrap the puff pastry log in the parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes. → The puff pastry log is much easier to slice into thin cookies when solid.
  • Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cut the cold puff pastry log into approx ¼-inch (5mm) thick slices with a sharp knife. Place sliced cookies about 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
  • Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely or enjoy slightly warm.

Notes

Store them in a cookie tin or airtight container at room temperature. 
Keeps fresh for one week.
Dislike cinnamon? Only use white sugar for the filling.
