How to Make Cinnamon Sticks

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC.

   Place parchment paper or a silicone pad across the baking sheet to prevent sticking. , Beat until soft peaks form. , Continue beating until the egg white peaks turn stiff. , Fold into the egg whites. , Mix to combine.
   
   Fold into the egg white mixture. , For each cookie, you'll need two level teaspoonfuls of batter. , Leave room between each of the cookies to allow for slight spreading. , Bake for 6 to 7 minutes or until the edges appear golden.
   
   While the cookies are baking, oil the handle of a wooden spoon; this will be used to roll the cookies up into sticks. , Let cool on the cookie sheet for 2 to 3 seconds. , Slide each rolled cookie off and onto a wire cooling rack. , If they cool too quickly to be rolled as you're working through them, simply place the sheet back into the warm oven (no longer switched on) for up to a minute to just warm.
   
   Then remove and repeat until all cookies have been rolled into sticks. , If wished, tie a small gold or silver cord around each cinnamon stick and tie in a bow.
   
   This is optional but very pretty, especially for gift-giving or a seasonal party.
