Ingredients:

- 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets)
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon of water
- Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a 12-inch square. Spread half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
