Cozy Thick Churro Cookies with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
- Preheat your oven: to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low or folding by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar coating: In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the coating.
- Form and coat dough balls: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form dough balls about 2 tablespoons (30g) each. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar to coat completely.
- Arrange on baking sheets: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies: Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the frosting: While the cookies cool, make the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, mixing until creamy and spreadable. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Frost the cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous dollop of cinnamon cream cheese frosting on each cookie.
