Description
A decadent fusion of churro, cheesecake, and donut cookies—crispy on the outside, creamy and soft inside, rolled in cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- Oil for frying (optional: can bake instead)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside.
- Separate biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each into a 3-inch circle. Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center. Bring edges together and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Gently flatten into a disc.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry cookies for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Alternatively, bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes.
- Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Brush each warm cookie with melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a baked version, spray with butter spray before rolling in cinnamon sugar.
