Scale
Ingredients
- 6 slices white sandwich bread (fresh for best texture)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (or substitute with coconut sugar)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Prepare Bread Triangles: Cut each slice of the white sandwich bread diagonally into four triangles for bite-sized cookies.
- Butter the Bread: Brush melted butter on both sides of each bread triangle to ensure crispiness and flavor upon baking.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Dip each buttered bread triangle into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating both sides evenly for a sweet and spiced crust.
- Bake: Place the coated triangles on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Cool and Crisp: Transfer the baked cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for a few minutes to reach their maximum crispiness before enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a deeper flavor.
- Adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mix enhances warmth and complexity.
- Use fresh white sandwich bread for optimal texture; stale bread will not crisp up properly.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Adjust baking times slightly if your oven runs hot or cool to avoid burning.
