To prepare Napoleons, place 1 phyllo sheet on a large cutting board or work surface (cover remaining dough to prevent drying); lightly coat with cooking spray. Place another phyllo sheet on top; lightly coat with cooking spray. Repeat layers with remaining 2 phyllo sheets and cooking spray. Gently press phyllo layers together; lightly coat top sheet with cooking spray. Cut phyllo stack in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 4 rectangles. Carefully place rectangles onto a nonstick baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350u00b0 for 10 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned. Remove phyllo stacks from pan; cool completely on a wire rack.
