A delightful twist on classic flavors, combining the soft, chewy texture of snickerdoodles with the warm, cinnamon-sugar goodness of churros.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups (340 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- For the cinnamon-sugar coating:
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix together ¼ cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Scoop out dough and roll it into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar coating.
- Place the coated dough balls on the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Use coconut oil or a dairy-free butter alternative for a vegan version.
- Consider incorporating chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the dough for added flavor.
