Butter Cake:

Glaze:

1 tablespoon Milk

10. Sprinkle it evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and drizzle with JUSTIN’S® Cinnamon Almond Butter.
11. Slice the dough lengthwise into 10 long strips.
12. Fold each strip in half (“hamburger-style”).
13. Twist each strip in a spiral, shape into a circle, and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
14. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
For the Glaze:
1. To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk together until smooth.
