Cinnamon Sugar Soft Pretzel recipe is a made with a pretzel dough slightly sweetened with brown sugar and warm cinnamon and finished with a cinnamon drizzle. They’re the perfect finger food!

This Cinnamon Sugar Soft Pretzel recipe is the perfect finger food for your next gathering. Since I originally made them I’ve decided that they’re even better if you don’t do the baking soda dip before you bake them as a real pretzel requires.
As nicely as they originally turned out I have to be straight up with you. You can trust this recipe to be delicious!

One of my very first experiences in the kitchen was making cinnamon toast. It was plain old toasted white bread buttered from edge to edge and then sprinkled generously with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
The whole thing melted together and in my opinion was the definition of ambrosia. I could make one heck of a piece of cinnamon toast!

This month’s Bread Bakers theme is pretzels, creative pretzels, traditional pretzels, bake the pretzels of your choice!

I’ve made pretzels a couple of times and love their salty briny exterior and soft interior but love this pretzel recipe without that briny dip.
The cinnamon added to the interior warmed up the flavor and the added sweetness of the cinnamon glaze and a cinnamon sugar dusting is a match made in cinnamon sugar heaven.
Pretzel sticks are so much easier to handle versus pretzels. Bites would be even easier. Skipping the briny dip make them super easy!

Took these to a party and they disappeared
Those pretzels look soooo inviting and tempting. I donโt think I can stop snacking on these ๐
Thank you Pavani!
Lovely colour and the addition of cinnamon sugar drizzle looks great ………….
Thank you, Sharanya!
Wow so beautifully done, love how u have shaped them as sticks ! We are a big fan of cinnamon flavored desserts and I bet these would vanish in minutes in my place
Thank you so much, Priya!
Tempting recipe. I used to live in the Pennsylvania Dutch area, and I’ll tell you, one of the only good things about it, food-wise, were the pretzels. I miss them. I’ve never tried making them myself, but after seeing this recipe, I’d like to give it a try.
Thank you, Jeff! I’ve heard that Pennsylvania is beautiful but haven’t had the opportunity to visit yet. This was my third time making pretzels and each time it gets easier and less messy.
“And the best Pretzel award goes to …………. Julie” I loved these. These are definitely “ambrosia” I am definitely going to try these ๐
You are so sweet Namita! Thank you so much!
Oh wow Julie! I’m loving these pretzels. When I first saw it on FB, I was anxious to get to the recipe – I’m here now and I’m in love with these, absolutely gorgeous! What’s not to love when cinnamon and sugar are involved right? Nicely done. I’d have to wait till my girls come home to make this. I don’t trust myself ๐
Thank you Loretta! I immediately sent them to work with John except for the one that I had to eat for quality control LOL!
Oh, I love that cinnamon glaze! These would be a great sweet addition to a game day menu.
Thank you Eileen!
Julie these soft pretzels look so addictive and I love that you used cinnamon sugar! Happy New Year!
Thank you, Marisa! Happy New Year!
Absolutely loved the recipe Julie
Thank you so much, Sonal! Hugs!
Your pretzels look amazing and sounds so delicious!
Happy New year! I hope the year didn’t start too cold!
Thank you Petra! Happy New Year to you too. We’ve had a couple nice days but it’s been so cold. Snow tonight with a -11F temp. Thank you for stopping by Petra. It’s always great seeing you.
That is taking cinnamon toast to a whole new level! They look and sound delicious!
Thank you so much Karen!
These certainly beat churros out by a nose! Definitely a must-try.
Thank you Sue! I’ve never made churros but I do love eating a good one!
Love the sweet version of this treat
Thank you Wendy!
I like this recipe a lot Julie. I am not much of a pretzel fan, dipping in mustard and so on but I love this idea of a stick with a cinnamon sugar topping. You’re right – much easier to eat ๐
Thank you Judi! I decided that I liked these better without the briny baking soda dip. I guess that makes them more like breadsticks LOL!
Oh, and so close to the holidays. Thanks so much. (Can you pick up any sarcasm??!!!!). Truly, these look amazing!
LOL Mimi! I only had one I swear and it’s salad tomorrow!
