Cinnamon Chips Recipe
Description
This recipe combines granulated sugar with fragrant Saigon cinnamon, vegetable shortening, light corn syrup, and vanilla extract to form a spreadable mixture. Pressed thinly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, the mixture bakes at a low temperature until it melts slightly and sets with a firm texture.
The baking process creates thin, brittle pieces that can be cut into small chips after cooling. The chips have a sweet, intense cinnamon flavor with a slight chew from the corn syrup and a subtle richness from the shortening.
Cinnamon Chips made this way can be used as a topping for desserts, added to trail mixes, or eaten as a sweet snack. The recipe notes suggest doubling the batch and dividing it into smaller sections on the baking sheet for more even cooking.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar 136 grams
- 3 tablespoons Saigon cinnamon 16 grams, ground
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening 25 grams
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 46 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 grams
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225º Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray.
- Combine the sugar, cinnamon, shortening, corn syrup and vanilla in a medium size bowl. Use two forks to combine the mixture until it is well mixed.
- Pour the cinnamon mixture on the prepared sheet. Use the palms of your hands to press and flatten the mixture to be about 1/4" thick.
- Bake until cinnamon sugar mixture is melted slightly. This will take about 30-35 minutes, but watch it closely.
- Cool completely, and then cut into small pieces.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 2 cups of cinnamon chips; doubling the recipe is common for larger batches.
- If doubling, divide the mixture into two smaller sections on the baking sheet to ensure even baking.
- Allow the baked mixture to cool completely before cutting into chips to prevent crumbling.
