Melt Butter and Mix Sugar-Cinnamon: In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until completely liquid. In another bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the melted butter generously over the dough surface. Then sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly on top before you can resist licking your fingers!
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your creation in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown and smelling divine. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into squares or triangles. Serve warm and watch everyone swoon!
