Ingredients

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 (14 to 17 oz.) box frozen puff pastry,
• thawed according to package directions
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 Tbsp. milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla paste or extract

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. of the cinnamon-sugar evenly over a work surface.
3. Unfold puff pastry sheets, remove parchment, and arrange sheets, stacked on top of each other, on the cinnamon-sugar.
4. Sprinkle the top sheet with another tablespoon of cinnamon- sugar. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Brush the pastry lightly with egg and fold it in half, short edge to short edge. Sprinkle dough with another tablespoon of the cinnamon-sugar.
5. Roll the pastry again into a 16 × 10 inch rectangle. Brush with beaten egg. Fold the pastry in half again, short edge to short edge. Sprinkle another tablespoon of the cinnamon-sugar over the pastry.
6. Roll the dough into an 8 x9 inch square. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar over the dough.
7. Using a 2 1/2 inch round cutter, cut dough into rounds. Use a 1-inch cutter to remove the center of each round.
8. Arrange rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the cut-out holes on the same pan. If there’s room, arrange the scraps.
9. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until pastries are puffy and deeply golden brown. Cool pastries on pan on a wire rack.
10. While pastries are cooling, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla.
11. Drizzle glaze over pastries while they are still slightly warm.
