Using a floured rolling pin on a floured board, roll one piece of dough into a rough rectangle 10x15x1/8". Sprinkle dough with half of the cinnamon-sugar filling. Starting with smaller side, roll dough up tightly into a cylinder. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Using a sharp thin knife, cut 1/4" slices from each roll. Place slices on ungreased baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Brush tips lightly with 1/4 cup maple syrup. Bake for 16 to 17 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately transfer cookies to a cool, flat surface. Recipe by Ruth Burkhardt (KKBG35A) -----
