Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Coins:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1 large egg

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

For the Frozen Yogurt Filling:

1 cup vanilla yogurt (or your favorite flavor)

1/2 cup whipped cream

Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, crushed fruit, or sprinkles

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract, egg, and mix until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.

        Form the Coins: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

            Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Once the cookies have cooled, roll each cookie in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated and set aside.

              Make the Frozen Yogurt Filling: In a mixing bowl, fold the vanilla yogurt and whipped cream together until well blended. If desired, add mini chocolate chips or crushed fruit for added flavor.

                Assemble the Cookie Coins: Take one cookie, add a generous dollop of the frozen yogurt mixture on top, then place another cookie on top to create a sandwich.

                  Freeze: Arrange the cookie sandwiches on a plate and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.

                    Serve: Once frozen, slice the churro cookie coins in half (if desired) and enjoy this delightful treat! Great for parties or as a unique dessert!
