By Anna Theoktisto Updated on August 21, 2022 Print Rate It Share Share Tweet Pin Email Hands On Time: 10 mins Total Time: 40 mins Servings: 12 Yield: 24 cookies Buttery puff pastry forms the base of these simple cookies, which feature a cinnamon sugar and pecan swirl throughout each bite. Getting that perfect spiral is surprisingly easy. The key is rolling the topped pastry into a tight log, and then giving it a quick freeze before slicing. Ingredients ½ cup granulated sugar, divided ½ (17.3-oz.) package frozen puff pastry, thawed (1 sheet) ¼ cup finely chopped pecans ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 large egg, beaten Directions Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle work surface with 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Unfold pastry sheet on sugar. Stir together pecans, cinnamon, and ¼ cup of the sugar in a small bowl. Brush pastry with egg, and sprinkle with pecan-sugar mixture. Roll sheet up in a tight log, pinching seam to seal. Freeze roll until firm, about 15 minutes. Cut into ¼-inch-thick slices. Sprinkle slices with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake in preheated oven on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 9 minutes. Turn slices over, and bake 5 more minutes. Cool completely on baking sheet, about 20 minutes. Jennifer Causey Rate it Print
