Churro Cheesecake Donut Cookies
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
For the Cheesecake Filling
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Churro Coating
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
4 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Scoop teaspoon-sized portions onto a lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
2. Make the Cookie Dough:
In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
3. Assemble the Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop about 2 tbsp of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center.
Cover with more dough, rolling it into a ball, ensuring the cheesecake is sealed inside.
Arrange the cookies on the baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
4. Bake & Coat:
Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
While warm, brush cookies with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Enjoy!
