Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup sugar for rolling
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon for rolling
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ¼ cup sugar with the ½ tsp ground cinnamon for rolling.
- Take about a tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, place some chocolate chips in the center, then fold the dough over to seal it well.
- Roll each stuffed dough ball in the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Place your dough balls on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let your churro cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
