Cinnamon Twist Ingredients
1tbs. Ground Cinnamon
1 tbs. Sesame Seeds
1/2 tsp. Ground Cardamom
2 tbs. Light Brown Sugar
1 (9x10") Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry
1 Egg, beaten

Directions:
Thaw out the puff pastry and cut into 20 long pieces. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a shallow bowl, mix together the cinnamon, sesame seeds, cardamom, and brown sugar. Twist 2 pieces of dough together to form a rope-shape. Pinch the ends together to seal. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and roll gently in the cinnamon mixture until coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until puffed and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
