Churro Cookies Recipe

By Stacey Freeman 1 Comment

churro-cookies-08Cinco de Mayo is just a couple weeks away. I’m getting my margarita recipes ready, and scouting out the best guacamole recipe. But those are so obvious. I mean, I always have those things on Cinco de Mayo. I wanted to add something else fun to my menu, so I searched for interesting churro recipes. Mostly, I found what you’d expect–homemade versions of churros you’d find at a theme park.

churro-cookies-01Except, then I found a churro cookies recipe. Score!

churro-cookies-02I adapted the recipe a bit — I added brown sugar rather than just white sugar, and I added more cinnamon for a really cinnamony-sugar taste.

churro-cookies-03Wow, these are so good! They taste just like a churro, but in a mini pie/cookie shape. They are just the right amount of sweet, while the cream cheese cuts through the richness of the pie crust. The butteriness and sweetness are a little big addicting. I can already envision enjoying these with a margarita on Cinco de Mayo.

churro-cookies-04Churro Cookies

Ingredients:

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar, separated (1/4 goes into the cream cheese mixture, the rest for cinnamon/sugar mixture)
1/4 cup brown sugar
frozen/refrigerated pie crust, 2 count, defrosted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tablespoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons melted Butter

churro-cookies-05Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well, and set aside.

Unroll the pie crusts and smear one with the cream cheese mixture. Top with the other pie crust.

Cut out your cookies using whatever shape/size cookie cutter you like. I used the bottom of a narrow glass (this size glass created 12 cookies). With a fork, crimp the edges of each cookie to seal in the cream cheese mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes, until golden brown on the bottoms and just lightly browned on top.

churro-cookies-06Place cookies on a cooling rack. While cookies are cooling, melt butter and mix remaining white sugar and cinnamon.

churro-cookies-07Brush both sides of the cookies with melted butter and dip into cinnamon/sugar mix to coat completely.

Enjoy!

It’s back to school time so I had to do this TT It’s back to school time so I had to do this TT high school throwback trend, even if I didn’t quite fit the profile. In HS, I played all the sports, did musicals, band and choir, I was pretty much in as many extracurriculars as I could be. But can we talk about this hair and outfits? I was definitely a late bloomer. My kids said I look scary 🤣. I say better with age 😉.

What were you like in HS?

Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. 💕

People often mistake me for much younger than I am, and I often receive compliments about my skin. If you know me, you know I actually get really shy and embarrassed when I receive compliments. But, I am really proud of my skin because I’ve worked hard to keep it looking youthful. 

I thank my dad and my Italian genes for a lot of it, but I’ve also been religiously caring for my skin since I finally broke up with tanning in my mid-20s. I wear giant (and ugly) sun hats every time I go to the beach and I layer on serums and spf every day.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing my current skincare routine and all of the products I used and treatments I’ve received to keep my skin looking as youthful as I can. And if you wanna see one of my treatments, head over to my stories to see the laser treatment @aestheticrn_christie with @dermfx gave me today. Link in stories or profile!

And by the way, I never wear foundation. In this photo, that is my skin minus some blush and a tiny bit of under eye concealer. Shop all my favorite products here: https://liketk.it/3N8lt

We had the most magical Sunday — the morning at @knottsberryfarm and the afternoon at Hermosa Beach with friends. Today was a day I said to myself, and to my friends, just how blessed we are to live here. There is no better feeling knowing that I finally found home. We missed you, LA.
