Disneyland is known for their churros. Whether you are in Disney California Adventure Park or Disneyland park you are sure to see churro carts and the many different epic flavor combinations of churros Disney offers. So, Disney Pink Adventures and I are bringing Disney churros to your home for the holidays BUT in cookie form.
During Christmas time, Disney really steps it up with churro flavors. They offer flavors like "Santa’s Cookies and Milk" and "Sugar Plum Candy". That got me thinking about what we could do to make our cookies not only taste like churros but also, taste like Christmas. And what better to pair with Christmas than Peppermint/candy canes! So festive.
These cookies are made using refrigerated pie crust as the base, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, topped with the icing and crushed peppermint. The refrigerated pie crust is a game-changer for these cookies. They are flaky like a churro and only take 8-10 minutes to cook. These cookies are legit the easiest cookies to make and they were a big hit when I brought them into the office. Plus, they really taste like churros from Disneyland!
Tip: To avoid burning the cookies, watch them carefully. The package pie crust will list the cooking time (for the full crust) as almost double what it should be. Because the pie crust is cut into smaller pieces, the time to cook will be significantly less. So be cautious.
