Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 1/2 cups salted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Buttercream:
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2–3 tbsp milk or cream (to thin)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract; beat until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gradually add flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
- Scoop dough into 1/3 cup portions, roll in cinnamon sugar, and slightly flatten each dough ball.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 14–17 minutes, or until puffed and the tops are no longer glossy.
- Cool the cookies on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Buttercream: Beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add ground cinnamon and enough milk or cream to reach piping consistency.
- Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cookies in a spiral pattern and sprinkle with extra cinnamon sugar if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
You can make the cookies smaller, but adjust baking time accordingly. For extra churro flavor, brush baked cookies with melted butter before rolling in cinnamon sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
