Crumbl Churro Cookies (Copycat Recipe)

Recipe by Rebekah Winscott

Thick, bakery-style churro cookies rolled in cinnamon sugar and topped with a rich cinnamon buttercream swirl. Soft centers, crisp edges, and full cozy flavor — just like Crumbl, but homemade.

  • Yield16-18 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookies

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Frosting

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream softened butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well, scraping down the bowl.
  4. Add flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix just until combined.
  5. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Reserve 1 tablespoon for topping.
  6. Scoop dough with a large cookie scoop. Roll each dough ball in cinnamon sugar.
  7. Place on baking sheet 2–3 inches apart. Flatten into thick disks (½–¾ inch thick).
  8. Bake 10–12 minutes, until centers are set and edges lightly golden. Cool completely.
  9. For frosting: Beat butter, cinnamon, half the powdered sugar, and milk on low until combined.
  10. Add remaining powdered sugar and mix on low. Increase speed to medium and whip until smooth and fluffy. Add a small splash of milk if needed.
  11. Transfer frosting to a piping bag and pipe a spiral on each cooled cookie.
  12. Sprinkle with reserved cinnamon sugar.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, chill dough balls for 20–30 minutes before baking.
  • Do not overbake — cookies should look slightly soft in the center when removed.
  • Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
