Sweet Cinnamon Pretzel Sticks (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 bag (12 oz) thick pretzel sticks for dipping
02 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
03 - 1 large egg white
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating

05 - 1 cup granulated white sugar
06 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

# Instructions:

01 - Start by heating your oven to 350°F. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl using medium-low power, then let it cool down a bit so it won't cook the egg white when you mix them together.
02 - Crack your egg and separate the white from the yolk - save that yolk for scrambled eggs later! Whisk the egg white and vanilla into your cooled melted butter until everything's well combined, then set this mixture aside.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon until they're perfectly combined. This will be your magical coating that makes these pretzels irresistible.
04 - Dump all your pretzel sticks into a large gallon-sized zip-top bag, then pour in that butter mixture you made. Seal the bag and give it a gentle but thorough shake and massage to coat every single pretzel stick.
05 - Pour your cinnamon sugar blend right into the same bag with the butter-coated pretzels. Seal it up again and shake and toss everything around until each pretzel is beautifully coated in that sweet, spicy goodness.
06 - Spread your coated pretzel sticks in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pop them in the oven for 15 minutes, giving them a good stir at the halfway point to ensure even browning.
07 - As soon as you pull them from the oven, give them another quick stir to prevent any sticking or clumping. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before diving in - trust me, they're worth the wait!

# Notes:

01 - Thicker pretzel sticks work best as they hold their shape better and don't break as easily during the coating process.
02 - Always stir immediately after baking to prevent the pretzels from sticking together as they cool.
03 - Store leftovers in a brown paper bag to keep them perfectly crunchy for up to a week.
04 - These sweet and salty treats are perfect for parties, movie nights, or whenever you need a quick crowd-pleasing snack.
