These easy churro cookies are made with a buttery dough flavored with cinnamon and sugar, then baked to perfection. The recipe yields about 24 cookies and takes approximately 30 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. In a small bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
