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.

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.

Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

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

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.

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.

Serve and Enjoy

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