Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup additional granulated sugar (for rolling)

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Make the Dough:

      - In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.

        - Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

          Mix Dry Ingredients:

            - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

              Combine Mixtures:

                - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

                  Chill the Dough (Optional):

                    - If time permits, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step helps in handling the dough better, but it’s optional.

                      Prepare Cinnamon Sugar:

                        - In a small bowl, combine the additional ½ cup of granulated sugar and the 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure an even distribution.

                          Shape the Cookies:

                            - Using a cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough ball directly into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, rolling it to coat completely.

                              Bake:

                                - Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.

                                  - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

                                    Cool and Enjoy:

                                      - Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

                                        Serve:

                                          - Serve these delightful cinnamon sugar churro cookies warm, and enjoy their soft and chewy texture paired with the sweet cinnamon coating!
