Joanna Gaines Churro Cookies Recipe
This Joanna Gaines Churro Cookies Recipe is sweet, soft and full of cinnamon flavor. These cookies taste like churros but are easier to make at home.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For coating:
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Prepare the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This helps cookies bake evenly and prevents them from sticking to the tray.
Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a bowl, mix butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. This step gives cookies a soft texture and rich buttery flavor.
Add Egg and Vanilla
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat again until smooth. Make sure everything is well combined for even flavor in every cookie.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Slowly add this dry mix to the wet mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Shape the Cookies
- Scoop small portions of dough and roll into balls. Keep them evenly sized. Place them on the tray with space between each ball for spreading.
Add Cinnamon Coating
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll each dough ball in this mixture. This gives the cookies their classic churro taste and coating.
Bake the Cookies
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake. Let cookies cool for a few minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for better mixing
- Do not overmix the dough
- Chill dough if it feels too soft
- Roll evenly for same-sized cookies
- Do not overbake to keep them soft
