Top each breadstick with a brush of melted butter topped with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Bake for 15-22 minutes, or until golden brown.

While the cinnamon breadsticks are cooking, grab a small bowl and add in the powdered sugar and liquid. You can use heavy whipping cream, milk, plain water or even vanilla extract. Whisk the combination of two in a bowl until smooth and consistency that you like.
