Ingredients
For the Baked Churros
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs (large)
- 4 chocolate creme sandwich cookies, crushed or finely chopped
For the Topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 6 chocolate creme sandwich cookies, crushed or finely chopped
For the Vanilla Creme Dip
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Instructions
To Make the Baked Churros:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the water, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Place over medium-high heat, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is simmering.
- Add in the flour all at once, and continue to cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until a film begins to form on the bottom of the pot.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl, and beat on medium speed.
- Drop in the eggs, one at a time. Allow each egg to become fully incorporated, before adding the next (about 30 seconds to a minute).
- Fold in the crushed cookies.
- Pipe the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing about 3 inches in between each churro.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on size. Remove from the oven when they are puffed, golden brown, hollow, dry, and light.
To Top the Churros:
- Brush each churro with melted butter and coat with cookie crumbs.
To Make the Vanilla Creme Dip:
- Stir the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together.
