Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your countertop or a flat work surface with a small amount of granulated sugar.
Unfold the puff pastry sheet on the sugared surface. Let it thaw slightly if frozen until it's pliable but still cold.
Sprinkle an even layer of granulated sugar over the top of the puff pastry sheet. If using cinnamon, mix it with the sugar before sprinkling.
Use a rolling pin to lightly press the sugar into the surface of the puff pastry. This ensures it adheres well.
Fold the top edge of the puff pastry towards the center, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the top fold. Repeat the process by folding each edge again toward the center to create a tight log shape.
Slice the folded puff pastry log into 1 cm (about 3/8 inch) thick pieces using a sharp knife.
Place the slices flat on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 cm (1 inch) of space between each piece to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your crisp and flaky puff pastry cookies!
