Churro Cookie Bars
Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 25 minutes
Makes: 24 squares
Ingredients:
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup butter, softened
1 TB cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 TB cornstarch or arrowroot powder
2 TB vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1-2 TB cinnamon sugar mixture (for topping)
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 350* F and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2:
In a large bowl add the eggs, egg yolks, sugars and butter and beat with an electric hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment for about 45 seconds until well combined. Once combined, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Step 3:
Next add the cinnamon, baking soda, cornstarch or arrowroot powder, vanilla and flour to the ingredients in the bowl and beat again until fully combined, scraping down the side of the bowl with the rubber spatula as needed.
Step 4:
Use a rubber spatula to transfer and spread out the cookie dough into the lined baking pan. The dough is a little sticky and can be tricky to spread, so do your best to spread it as evenly as possible. Once the dough is evenly spread, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top. Place on the middle oven rack to bake for 22-25 minutes at 350* F. Once baked, remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
Step 5:
Once the churro cookie bars have fully cooled, you can remove them from the pan by using the edges of the parchment paper to carefully lift them out for easier cutting. Cut into 24 squares and store at room temperature in an airtight container to keep fresh for several days. Enjoy!
