Ingredients
  

1 package (17.3 oz) of frozen puff pastry, thawed (2 sheets)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to smooth out any folds. Overlap the edges slightly if necessary, and ensure they are well sealed.

      Mix the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until it's well combined and creamy.

        Spread the Filling: Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over one sheet of the puff pastry. If using, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans on top of the filling.

          Roll It Up: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log. Make sure to roll it evenly to avoid gaps.

            Cut the Rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled pastry into 1-inch wide pieces and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.

                Make the Icing: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more sugar or milk to achieve your desired thickness.

                  Cool and Drizzle: Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the icing over the top.

                    Serve: Enjoy your delicious puff pastry cinnamon rolls warm, or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea!
