Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a cookie cutter of your choice, cut each slice of bread into fun shapes (like stars, hearts, or circles). Discard the crusts or save them for another use, such as breadcrumbs.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 20-30 seconds in the microwave or stovetop).
In another small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon to create a cinnamon-sugar coating.
Brush both sides of each bread shape with the melted butter. Then sprinkle or dip each side of the bread shapes into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating them evenly.
Arrange the coated bread shapes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
Optional toppings: Sprinkle chocolate chips or decorative sprinkles on top of the bread shapes for added fun and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the Toast Cookie Treats cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these crispy, sweet treats as is or paired with a warm drink!
