Description
Churro Cheesecake Donut Cookies are a mouthwatering fusion of three favorite desserts — churros, cheesecake, and donuts — featuring creamy filling, a soft, pillowy texture, and a crunchy cinnamon-sugar coating.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon and set aside for coating.
- In another bowl, mix cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Unroll crescent dough and press seams together to form a single sheet. Cut into 16 circles using a round cookie cutter.
- Place a teaspoon of cream cheese filling onto 8 of the circles. Top each with another circle and press edges to seal.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and generously sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil the cookies for 1–2 minutes after baking.
- These are best served warm, but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
- Use a piping bag for easier filling.
