Description
These bread cookies are a quick and delightful way to repurpose leftover white sandwich bread. Lightly sweetened and crisped in the oven, they’re perfect for a simple dessert or tea-time snack.
Ingredients
6 slices white sandwich bread
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Trim the crusts off the bread slices and cut each slice into four squares, or use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
- In a bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Dip each bread piece into the butter mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
- Arrange the coated bread pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
- Let cool completely. They will become firmer as they cool.
Notes
Use cookie cutters to make fun shapes for kids or parties.
Try nutmeg or cardamom instead of cinnamon for a flavor twist.
Drizzle with melted chocolate after baking for a richer treat.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days; re-crisp in the oven if needed.
Use plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
