GRANDMA'S CINNAMON TOAST COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
• 2. COMBINE flour and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 T. cinnamon in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Form rounded tablespoon and roll in Cinnamon/Sugar mixture then move onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten out slightly with the bottom of a buttered glass. *Mixture may need to be refrigerated for about 10 minutes in order to handle with Cinnamon/Sugar mixture.
• 3. BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center (just like your grandma's cinnamon toast!). Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment, set aside.
• Place 3 cups of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in a large zip-top bag and seal. Reserve the remaining 1 cup of cereal. Using a rolling pin, crush the cereal until it is a fine crumb. Alternately you can do this step in a food processor or blender. Set aside.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar together for 2 minutes. Add in the eggs, vanilla, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, and continuing mixing until combined and smooth, scraping sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour until just combined. Mix in the crushed cereal until evenly incorporated. Stir in the reserved cup of uncrushed cereal.
• Using a medium (2- tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place 2- inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9 - 10 minutes until edges begin to golden.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• If desired melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring after each, until melted. Drizzle on top of the cookies.

GRANDMA MAC'S CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in milk, cinnamon and salt. Spread entire top of lightly toasted bread with butter mixture. Place on a cookie sheet and broil briefly until mixture bubbles. (Watch carefully as these will burn quickly.) Cool slightly on a rack; cut into triangles, and serve warm for breakfast toast. Cover and refrigerate remaining butter mixture for future use.

CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
• Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
• Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.
