Granulated sugar & brown sugar – For sweetness and slight chewiness.
Large egg – Helps bind the dough together.
Vanilla extract – Brings warmth and depth of flavor.
Cream cheese – The secret to a soft, creamy texture.

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

Granulated sugar – Adds a sweet, crispy coating.
Ground cinnamon – The warm, spiced magic that makes these cookies irresistible.

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat Oven & Prep Baking Sheet

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

3️⃣ Cream the Butter & Sugars

In a separate bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4️⃣ Add the Wet Ingredients

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Blend in the cream cheese until smooth.

5️⃣ Combine Wet & Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

6️⃣ Scoop & Bake

Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.

7️⃣ Roll in Cinnamon Sugar

While warm, roll cookies in cinnamon sugar mixture for a perfect churro coating.

8️⃣ Enjoy!

Serve warm or let them cool—either way, they’re irresistible! 😍

Notes

For Extra Churro Flavor: Roll the cookies twice in cinnamon sugar—once when warm, once when cool.
Want a Cheesecake Filling? Stuff a teaspoon of sweetened cream cheese inside each cookie before baking.
Make Them Crispier! Bake for 1-2 extra minutes for a crunchier exterior.
