  • Cut the log into 12 even slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Place the cinnamon twists onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  • While the twists are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk if a thinner glaze is desired.
