Copycat Churro Cookie
Ever since Crumbl opened down the street I’ve been on a mission to find copycat recipes. I’m not sure of the original, because it was sold out when we went, but these cookies are the bomb!!
INGREDIENTS
CHURRO COOKIES
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¾ tsp baking powder
CINNAMON SUGAR COOKIE DUSTING
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
CINNAMON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup Crisco shortening
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
CHURRO COOKIES
- Cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Mix together.
- In a separate bowl, combine the purpose flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder.
- Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix just until all combined.
CINNAMON SUGAR DUSTING
- Combine the sugars and the cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- Roll the dough into 2 ½ inch balls. (I use my large cookie scoop)
- Roll the cookie dough balls into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
- Place cookie dough balls onto cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper or baking mats) 3 inches apart. (about 9-12 per sheet)
- Bake 375 degrees F for 10 minutes. Cookies should be puffy and not browned.
- Allow cookies to cool at room temperature before frosting.
CINNAMON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
- In a mixer, beat the butter and shortening together.
- Add the vanilla and salt. Mix together.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar and water. Hold back a Tbsp of the water to make sure it’s the right consistency. Add the remaining water if the frosting is too thick.
- Beat on medium until the frosting is smooth.
- Add brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix until incorporated into the frosting. Will make the frosting grainy to resemble a churro.
ASSEMBLY
- Top the cooled cookies with cinnamon buttercream frosting. Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top for that crunchy texture.
- Store in airtight container. Enjoy!
