Ingredients

Churro Dough

• 1 cup water

• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs

Filling

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• ½ cup edible cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)

For Frying & Coating

• Oil (vegetable or canola, for frying)
• ½ cup granulated sugar + 1 tbsp cinnamon (for coating)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Churro Dough

1. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil.
2. Remove from heat and stir in flour until a smooth dough forms.
3. Cool slightly, then beat in eggs one at a time until glossy.

2. Prepare the Filling

4. Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
5. Fold in cookie dough (break into small pieces if needed).

3. Fill & Pipe

6. Spoon dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip (like Wilton 1M).
7. Pipe 4-inch logs onto parchment paper.
8. Freeze 15 minutes (helps hold shape for frying).

4. Fry the Churros

9. Heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot.
10. Fry 3-4 churros at a time for 2-3 minutes until golden.
11. Drain on paper towels.

5. Coat & Fill

12. Roll warm churros in cinnamon sugar.
13. Use a small piping tip to inject filling into each churro.

Pro Tips

Oil temp is key: Too hot = burnt outside; too cool = greasy. Use a thermometer!
No piping bag? Use a ziplock with a corner snipped off.
Make ahead: Freeze unfried churros for 1 month (fry from frozen +1 min).

Variations

• Nutella filling: Swap cookie dough for ½ cup Nutella.
• Churro bites: Pipe 1-inch circles for poppable treats.
• Dulce de leche: Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Chocolate dip: Melt ½ cup chocolate chips + 1 tsp coconut oil.
Berry sauce: Simmer 1 cup berries + 2 tbsp sugar until thick.

Yield: ~12 churros
