Churro Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting

Instructions
Crumbl Churro Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F oven and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat liners.
Cinnamon Sugar
- Make cinnamon sugar mixture, set aside.
Crumbl Churro Cookie Dough
- Using mixer, beat butter in your mixing bowl until it turns a pale yellow about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in sugars until the mixture is fluffy.
- Mix in egg, followed by vanilla until well combined.
- Add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt to wet mixture and mix together to form your dough.
- Using a large cookie scoop (1/4 cup scoop), scoop cookies and then roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Very lightly pat down cookie dough or not at all, depending on thickness you want cookies. Cookies will spread out, so be sure to keep the unbaked cookie dough thick on the baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes to partially under-bake the dough, to get the crispy, golden brown edges on the outside and the soft and chewy inside.
Cookie Tip: For perfectly circular cookies, use a circular bowl and swirl around your freshly baked cookie to make edges clean, if desired.
Churro Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting
- Once cookies are cooled for frosting, beat your butter until fluffy for about 2-3 minutes. Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, milk and vanilla until the frosting is fluffy.
- Add icing to a piping/ziploc bag using tip preferred, circular or star tip and pipe a swirl on top.
- Optional: Lightly sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top for the crunchy churro effect!
