Churro Cheesecake Donut Cookies
Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mix in the cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Shape the Cookies:
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a disc shape.
Bake the Cookies:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Coat the Cookies:
While the cookies are still slightly warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Serve:
Enjoy your Churro Cheesecake Donut Cookies—soft, chewy, and coated in a delicious cinnamon sugar!
