Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cream cookie butter, butter, vanilla sugar, brown sugar, shortening, eggs, and vanilla bean together using an electric mixer in a bowl. Combine warm water with baking soda in a small bowl to dissolve; add to creamed mixture while mixing.
Combine flour and salt in a separate bowl and add gradually to cookie butter mixture; mix well. Stir in cinnamon chips.
Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets; use your fingers to form into peaked meringue shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
