Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons Powdered milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup.
Microwave the mixture in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until the butter is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth.
Stir in the powdered milk, vanilla extract, and salt until a thick paste forms.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, aiming for a thin and even layer.
Bake the mixture for 25–30 minutes, or until it is firm but not overly crisp. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the baked mixture to cool completely on the parchment paper.
Once cooled, break the sheet into small pieces or use a knife to chop it into chip-sized bits.
Store the cinnamon baking chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
