Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350° Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
Place the butter in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl and melt it using medium/low power. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.

Separate the egg white from its yolk. In the bowl with the slightly cooled melted butter, whisk in the egg white and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: Mix the Cinnamon Sugar
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until they are thoroughly combined.
Step 5: Coat the Pretzels
Place the pretzel sticks in a one-gallon zip-top bag. Pour the butter mixture over the pretzels, seal the bag, and gently shake to ensure all pretzels are evenly coated.
Step 6: Add Cinnamon Sugar and Bake
Add the cinnamon sugar mixture to the bag containing the pretzels. Seal and shake gently until the pretzels are completely coated. Spread the coated pretzels in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
