One of my favorite treats is a churro.  Whether I’m at a Costco or Disneyland, I’m always craving the cinnamon sugary goodness of churros.  There was a Tasty video going around for a churro ice cream sandwich that looked delicious.   I’m didn’t want to deal with the hassle of deep frying so I went with baking instead.  I adapted this recipe from Club Crafted.  Having them in cookie form made them easier to work with and of course slightly less messy for my kids to eat!

Churro Cookies

2 cups water
1 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
4 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of ground cloves

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F.  Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.  In a medium sauce pan, combine your water, butter, vanilla, and salt.  Bring to a hard simmer.  In a separate bowl, combined your flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Once your butter mixture has reached a hard simmer, remove from heat and add your flour mixture half at a time and stirring until well combined.  Next add your eggs, mixing them completely, creating a smooth dough.  Using a pastry bag and a 1M star tip, pipe your cookies onto the parchment paper.  (I used my Pampered Chef Easy Accent Decorator with the star tip, but the 1M tip and pastry bag will do the exact same thing)  For this cookie size, I went around about four times.  Bake for 22-25 minutes.

Move quickly from the pan to a cooling rack.  Let the cookies cool for only about a minute and then coat them in the sugar mixture.  Let cool a touch more before serving.  They are delicious while still a little warm, but still really tasty when they have cooled.

These churro cookies have a nice crisp outside and a moist, soft inside.  They were a huge hit in our house!  Let me know if you try them!  Enjoy!
