Churros Edible Cookie Dough- YUM!
There is a little churros stand that we go to every year when we are in San Miguel de Allende visiting Cole’s family. They are some of the best churros I’ve ever had in my life. You go after you hit Andy’s taco cart and you wait in the long line of people anxiously awaiting the sweet crunchy goodness of a fresh out of the oven churro.
The (second) best part of the whole experience is that while you stand in line for your churro, you can watch the magic of how to make a churro. A churro machine poops out churro dough into hot oil and then the hot churro is rolled in sugar and a bit of cinnamon before it is carefully placed into a paper bag for your complete delight.
By god are those churros good. I wanted the churro taste without the grease-y goodness of a Mexican churro (we can save that for San Miguel) so we developed this delicious churro edible cookie dough!

I had to add some more dates to bring up the sweetness to my liking but this was pretty tasty. I found it was even better after a night in the fridge after the flavours had melded.
