Notes
Yield: Makes approximately 2 cups of homemade cinnamon baking chips.
Cinnamon: Saigon or Korintji cinnamon both work well. Use a fresh, flavorful ground cinnamon.
Baking: Press the mixture to an even ¼-inch thickness. Bake until the sugar looks slightly melted. The center does not need to bubble vigorously.
Doubling: If doubling the recipe, press the mixture into two separate sections on the baking sheet so it bakes evenly.
