    Tips and Tricks for Making This Cinnamon Twists Recipe: 

    • When baking these, make sure to use a non-stick baking tray or spray your tray with a non-stick cooking spray.
    • if you do not like the idea of directly dipping the puff pastry into the melted butter, you can use a pastry brush instead. Just make sure to coat the pastry evenly to ensure that the sugar-cinnamon mixture will stick onto them.
    • If your puff pastry is frozen, make sure to thaw it by leaving it in room temperature for at least one hour. This would make it easier to slice and to twist.

    How to Make this Cinnamon Twists Recipe:

    Before we start assembling the cinnamon twists, make sure you have preheated your oven to 400F and line cookie sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.

    Gather all the ingredients. Now, let's begin!

    In a large plate or bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined:
