Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Add-ins & Coating

  • 2 cups chocolate chunks
  • Additional cinnamon and sugar for rolling and dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, add the maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all wet ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Roll each ball in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar to coat the exterior, giving the cookies their signature churro-like flavor and texture. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain soft and slightly undercooked for a chewy texture.
  6. Cool: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on them for about 5 minutes. This helps them set properly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Dust: Once the cookies are fully cooled, sprinkle additional cinnamon and sugar over the tops for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch, enhancing the churro-inspired flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality pure maple syrup for a rich flavor.
  • Do not overmix the dough once dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender.
  • Storing cookies in an airtight container at room temperature keeps them fresh for up to 5 days.
  • You can substitute chocolate chunks with chocolate chips or chunks of your favorite chocolate.
  • Rolling the dough balls in cinnamon sugar before and after baking adds an authentic churro texture and sweetness.
