Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Transfer the dough strips to the prepared baking sheet, placing them approximately 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Brush the tops of the dough strips with melted butter, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cinnamon sticks are golden and slightly crisp around the edges.
Optional: Once the cinnamon sticks have cooled for a few minutes, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy!
