How to Make Cinnamon Almond Croissants

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thaw puff pastry according to package directions (approximately 40 minutes).
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter (1/2 cup), brown sugar (1/4 cup), cinnamon (2 teaspoons), and almond extract (1 teaspoon).
  4. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and spread the cinnamon-almond mixture evenly over the surface.
  5. Gently sprinkle sliced almonds (1/4 cup) over the cinnamon mixture.
  6. Tightly roll the pastry into a log, starting from the long side.
  7. Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
  8. Place the croissant slices onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) for extra sweetness.
