Notes

These Sweet Cinnamon Twists keep well for about 2-3 days in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to a month before baking. Use cold puff pastry for best results, and consider adding a pinch of salt or experimenting with toppings like nuts or chocolate chips.
