Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using whole grain bread instead of regular white bread. If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to increase the cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon. You can also substitute the sweetener with a natural alternative like stevia if desired. Make sure the bread is well-crumbled to ensure even baking. These cookies can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free bread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cookies warm alongside a cup of herbal tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon snack. They also pair beautifully with Bailey'S Fudge Sauce for a sweet dip. For a more balanced meal, consider serving them with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt, making them an excellent option for breakfast or dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sweetener?
Yes, you can use any granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice. Just make sure to adjust the quantity based on the sweetness level of the sweetener you use. For example, if using honey or agave syrup, you may want to reduce the amount slightly since they are sweeter than granulated sugar.
What is the best way to know when the cookies are done?
The cookies are done when they are golden brown on the edges and slightly firm to the touch. Keep in mind that they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven, so it's best to take them out just as they start to turn golden.
Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes, these cookies can be frozen for up to three months. To freeze, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or reheat them directly from the freezer.
