Description
These Christmas Eve Cinnamon Crisps are light, sweet, and perfectly crunchy holiday snacks made from simple pantry ingredients. They’re buttery, cinnamon‑sugary, and come together quickly — ideal for festive snacking or last‑minute guests.
Ingredients
- 6 large flour tortillas (or puff pastry sheets, optional)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay the tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping.
- Brush each tortilla generously with melted butter, covering the entire surface.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon until combined.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the buttered tortillas.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into wedges or crisp‑sized pieces.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, watching closely near the end, until golden and crisp.
- Let the crisps cool slightly on the baking sheet; they continue to crisp as they cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon sugar for extra holiday warmth.
- Drizzle cooled crisps with melted chocolate or white chocolate for a richer treat.
- If using puff pastry, reduce baking time slightly and watch closely to prevent overbrowning.
- Store cooled crisps in an airtight container to preserve crispness.
- Reheat at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes if they soften.
