Churro Cookies Recipe

• 2 Pillsbury Pie Crusts
• 12 soft caramel candies, cut in half
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Add the caramel filling: Place half a piece of caramel candy in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and press the edges to seal.
4. Coat in cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon powder. Brush the sealed cookies with melted butter, then roll each cookie in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
5. Bake: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
