Note about Cinnamon
Ceylon cinnamon is best for baking and sweet dishes. It has a more pronounced cinnamon flavor and less heat. It's actually true cinnamon, as most of the spice jars in the store at the cheaper Cassia.
Cassia is not as sweet, has a slight bitter back note, and is more suited for savory dishes.
When baking cinnamon buns like our Tik Tok Cinnamon Rolls, or this Pumpkin Butter recipe, Ceylon cinnamon is the sweeter, more flavorful choice.

How to Make Crumbl Churro Cookies
Line two rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Preheat your oven to 350 F and get our your bowl & mixer! Mix up the brown sugar & cinnamon mixture in small bowl and set aside for rolling the cookie balls in later.
See the recipe below to get the amounts for the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Step 1. Prepare the Crumble Cookie dough
Measure the cookie recipe brown sugar, granulated sugar, into a mixing bowl.
Using an electric hand mixer, cream the sugars and butter. Add the vanilla and mix in well.
Add the eggs to the bowl of creamed butter and sugars.
Mix the egg in with the hand mixer, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Step 2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
Measure all the dry ingredients into a bowl. Using a whisk, blend in until the cinnamon is distributed evenly.
Using the hand mixer, blend in the dry ingredients into the creamed butter & sugar mixture in 3 to 4 increments.
Make 12 balls from the cookie dough, about ¼ cup each. Roll each dough ball in the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place six cookie dough balls on a prepared cookie sheet. Press down gently to flatten to about ½" thick.
Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Step 3. Bake & Frost
Make sure each cookie is about 2" apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes in the prepared 350 F oven. Remove and then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack after 5 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely before frosting.
Prepare the Cinnamon Buttercream, and fill a piping bag with it. It helps to use a tall glass to hold the piping bag while filling it.
Pipe swirls of buttercream on each cookie top using a star piping tip. Sprinkle with the remainder of the cinnamon sugar.
