Ingredients
  

For the Churro Dough
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (½ stick)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup edible cookie dough either store-bought or homemade
For Frying and Coating
  • as needed Oil (vegetable or canola), for frying
  • ½ cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon, for coating

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, ensuring everything is well blended.
  2. Quickly stir in all-purpose flour until it forms a ball, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
  3. Add eggs one by one, fully incorporating each before adding the next to achieve a smooth, glossy dough.
Cheesecake Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then blend in powdered sugar.
  2. Add edible cookie dough and mix until creamy and free of lumps.
Churro Assembly and Frying
  1. Load churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle and pipe 3 to 4-inch lengths onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Using a separate piping bag, fill each churro with the cookie dough cheesecake mixture for an even distribution.
  3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C) and fry churros in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Drain fried churros on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. While still warm, roll churros in sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat.
