Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Thaw puff pastry at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Mix cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Brush both pastry sheets with melted butter, then vanilla extract.
Step 3
Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered pastry. Press gently so it sticks.
Step 4
Starting at one short end, tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log. Slice each log into 4 spirals (8 total).
Step 5
Place spirals cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and a pinch of salt if using.
Step 6
Bake until golden brown and crispy, 10–12 minutes. Serve warm.
