Churro Cheesecake Cookies

Delicious cookies combining the creamy richness of cheesecake with the cinnamon-sugar crunch of churros, perfect for a festive treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted brown butter
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • store-bought caramel sauce (optional for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the butter and let it cool completely before mixing.
  3. In a bowl, combine cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and sugar until smooth.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  7. Scoop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes; cookies will look slightly underbaked.
  9. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to set.
  10. Serve with caramel sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

Cookies may appear underbaked when removed from the oven but will finish baking as they cool on the baking sheet. Ensure brown butter is fully cooled before mixing dough. Store cookies in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
