The cookie that will remind you of the happiest moments of your life
When my husband asked me to make a churro cookie, I immediately saw it in my mind as a cookie filled with that royal icing you get it with at the theme parks. After many failed attempts of making a cream filled cookie they dulce de leche churro cookie was born. The filling is slightly salted which cuts through some of that sugar coating and rounds out the flavors.
This cookie is a great mix of sweet crunch, soft dough and gooey center. Texture and flavor compositions are really important to me when creating bakes. It's easy to make a treat sweet, but when a symphony of flavors are flying over your taste buds, that's how you know you've got a really good bake.
