Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough:

  • All-purpose flour – Base for a soft yet sturdy cookie.
  • Baking powder – Helps the cookies rise slightly.
  • Salt – Enhances flavor.
  • Unsalted butter – Adds rich buttery goodness.
  • 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.
 
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
