Preparation

Step 1

What To Do:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

On a lightly floured surface, with a rolling pin, roll out each pastry sheet to 12- x 12-inches.

In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Brush pastry sheets with beaten egg and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of cinnamon mixture evenly over top of each sheet.

Roll one side of pastry sheet into middle then roll other side to meet it in middle, forming a scroll. Cut 1/2-inch slices across scrolls.

Dip one cut side into cinnamon mixture and lay sugared-side up on prepared baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes then let cool for 5 minutes.

Notes
• These should be stored in an airtight container or cookie jar. They shouldn't be refrigerated or frozen.
