Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F and line 2 baking trays.
- Place light brown sugar and cinnamon into a small bowl and stir until combined. Leave to one side.
- Place ready rolled pastry sheet onto a cutting mat and brush melted butter all over.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon mix all over the pastry and press slightly with the back of a spoon, just to make sure it's stuck.
- Slice into 12 strips, about 1 inch thick, but this will depend on the size of your sheet.
- Take either end of the strip and twist; twist one hand away and the other towards until the twist meets in the middle.
- Place twists on baking tray, 6 to a sheet with 2 inch gaps between them.
- Place in oven for 10-12 minutes until risen, puffy and golden.
- Leave to cool on the trays completely.
- Once cool, place the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla into a medium sized bowl and beat on med-high speed until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add in 1/2tbsp milk and beat until combined. If required, add the other 1/2tbsp and mix. You want a consistency which will pour, but isn't so thin it won't stick to anything.
- Either drizzle over the twists or place in a small bowl to dip the twists inches.
- Twists will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature for 2 days, dip will keep covered in the fridge for 2 days.

QUICK CINNAMON TWISTS
I love cinnamon twists but most recipes call for crescent rolls - which I never have on hand. This uses quick-rising yeast and has a 15 - 20 minute rise time. This should work for you if you want something quick! From: Homemade for the Holidays by Molly Williams, Lyons-Decatur Northeast School, Lyons, NE.

Tips:
- For a more decadent twist, use a cream cheese frosting instead of a vanilla glaze.
- Add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
- Be sure to let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- If you don't have time to make cinnamon roll twists from scratch, you can use pre-made dough from the store. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using.
