Kitchen Equipment Needed

  • Mixing bowls (large and medium)
  • Electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer)
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients Overview

For the Cookies

  • Unsalted Butter: Creates a tender and rich cookie base.
  • Brown Sugar and Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness and a touch of moisture for a chewy texture.
  • Egg: Binds the ingredients together while adding softness.
  • Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor and adds depth.
  • All-Purpose Flour: Provides structure to the cookies.
  • Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Ensure the cookies puff up just the right amount.
  • Cinnamon: The star ingredient, delivering that classic churro spice.

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • Granulated Sugar and Cinnamon: Create a flavorful and slightly crunchy coating reminiscent of churros.

 

Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Make the Cookie Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.

3. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.

4. Shape and Coat the Cookies

  • Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  • Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

5. Bake the Cookies

  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

6. Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve warm for the ultimate churro experience or at room temperature for a soft and chewy delight!

Recipe Tips

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the butter and egg are at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Chilling the Dough: If your dough feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before rolling.
  • Extra Cinnamon Sugar: Save some of the coating mixture to sprinkle over the cookies right out of the oven for added flavor.

What to Serve With This Recipe

These cookies pair wonderfully with a cup of hot cocoa, coffee, or a spiced chai latte. For an extra indulgence, serve them alongside vanilla ice cream or drizzle with caramel sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze the dough?
Yes, you can freeze the dough balls after coating them in cinnamon sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes to the baking time.
