Easy DIY Cinnamon Chips with Vanilla Icing Dip

Cinnamon rolls are in a tight 3-way-race to be my all-time favorite treat. The smell they make while baking is mouth wateringly delicious. Then you top their hot goodness with a generous helping of vanilla butter cream, and I am a lost woman.

This recipe mimics that taste in simple form, and it kinda happened by accident. The kids and I were trying to decide what to make for lunch one day, and the bread was gone. I hate it when the bread is gone!! After some digging in the refrigerator we discovered some whole wheat tortillas and the girls asked if they could put butter, cinnamon and sugar on them like we occasionally do with toast. I said yes, and after they put it together the threw it in the toaster oven. It came out so crisp and yummy that it reminded me of chips, and that is how the Cinnamon Chips were born.

How to Make this Cinnamon Goodness:

1. Take 3-4 tortillas (I used wheat, but white works too,)  and cut them into sixths.
2. Lay the sections out on a sheet of tin foil, and using a pastry brush, spread a thin layer of melted butter on one side of the pieces.  (We put the toppings on before placing the chips on tinfoil, but you save yourself dishes if you put the toppings on over tinfoil.  I’m all about saving dishes:)
3. Sprinkle a combination of cinnamon and sugar on the tops.  (You can use white or brown sugar.)
4. Put those babies in the toaster oven or use the broil setting on your full size oven.  Watch them closely and take them out after they start to bubble and brown on the tops.  Ours took 1-2 minutes.
5. Pull them out and while they cool, whip up a delicious Vanilla Icing Glaze to use as dip.  For a simple glaze, add 1 Cup Powdered Sugar, 2 Tbls of Milk or more as needed, and 1/2 tsp Vanilla.  Mix the three ingredients together until they form a thin, smooth glaze.
6. Plate them together on a cute dish and Enjoy!!

Tip:  If you make these at night, after the kiddos are in bed, you might get to eat some 🙂

Happy President’s Day Everyone!!
