~from Savoring Time in the Kitchen
1 can refrigerated bread sticks (such as Pillsbury)
6 tablespoons sugar (I used 5 tablespoons of regular granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of coarse sparkling sugar)
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon vanilla paste or scrape 1/2 vanilla bean
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
Mix together the sugars and all of the seasonings with a fork until well combined.
Unroll dough and separate into strips and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with sugar mixture. Pull and twist into pretzel shapes, if desired, or make simple twisted bread sticks and place on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the top with any remaining sugar.
Bake for 10 to 13 min or until golden on the edges. Remove and cool.
These are best eaten freshly baked, the day they are made.
