Helpful Tips
Make sure that you allow your butter with the sugar to cream for 5-6 minutes. It is important to create that light and fluffy base for your cookies.
Scoop and level the measuring cups properly when it comes to the flour. Measuring improperly will lead to over-dry or soft cookies. Scooping flour into the measuring cup then use a knife to level off the top.
Room-temperature butter and eggs are key. Softened butter works great for creaming, if you use melted butter the texture of the cookies will not turn out the same.
I used an ice cream scoop to make these Crumbl churro cookies jumbo size. You could also use two scoops of a smaller cookie scoop.
Storing Cookies and Freezing
Storing – These cookies can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator in an airtight container. I find that sometimes if left out the buttercream can break down a bit.
So make sure your home is not too hot, or it will affect the buttercream frosting.
Freezing – Go right ahead and freeze any cookies you don’t plan to eat right away. Just place in an airtight container. Place parchment paper in between cookie layers to prevent sticking. Freeze cookies for 3-4 months.
Thaw on the counter or in the fridge overnight.
FAQs
You can freeze churro cookies. Simply place cookies in a single layer in a freezer container or freezer bag. If you do stack place wax paper in between layers of the cookies to prevent sticking.
Churros are from Spain but they eventually made their way to Mexico. This cinnamon and sugar delicious dessert is one that has taken over the whole world.
You do not have to add frosting on top of these churro cookies. I personally find the frosting compliments the cookies perfectly, but feel free to leave it off.
