What is Crumbl Churro Cookie?
The Crumbl Churro Cookie is a soft, cinnamon-spiced cookie made to evoke memories of freshly fried churros—which are traditionally crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. This cookie skips the “fried” aspect and instead offers a baked base, deepened with warm, cinnamony goodness. It’s topped with a swirl of cinnamon frosting and finished with a sprinkle of sugar crystals for a slight crunch that mimics the texture of traditional churros.
Crumbl’s marketing often emphasizes how their cookies bring familiar, comforting flavors to life, and the Churro Cookie does exactly that by recreating a distinct churro-like taste in cookie form. While it’s larger and chewier than an actual churro, it still embodies the toasty, sweet essence that fans of churros crave.
What It Tastes Like
When I first took a bite of the Crumbl Churro Cookie, I was met with a rush of warm flavors. The cookie base itself is incredibly soft and buttery, with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar that immediately feel cozy and indulgent. The frosting on top has a wonderfully smooth texture and reinforces that cinnamon flavor, without being too overwhelming for my taste.
What stood out the most was the balance between sweetness and spice—the sugar and cinnamon work harmoniously to create layers of flavor that are comforting, but not overly sugary or cloying. The addition of the textured sugar crystals was a clever touch; every now and then, you get a tiny crunch that mimics the experience of eating a churro dusted with granulated sugar.
However, if you’re someone who enjoys the combination of crunchy churros with their crisp outer shell, you might miss the signature frying aspect in this cookie. It’s definitely softer and more dense than a traditional churro, but I found that it worked well with what Crumbl was trying to achieve.
Final Thoughts
The Crumbl Churro Cookie is definitely a solid addition to their lineup of weekly rotating flavors. For anyone who loves churros—or desserts with a warm, cinnamon-forward profile—this treat is right up your alley. Personally, I loved pairing mine with a hot cup of coffee; the cookie’s sweetness contrasted beautifully with the bitterness of the coffee, while the spice added a cozy fall vibe.
That said, this cookie might feel a little heavy for those who enjoy lighter desserts. It’s rich, thick, and quite filling—perfect for sharing, or savoring slowly across two sittings. For churro purists, this isn’t a direct substitute for the fried street snack, but it’s a delightful cookie interpretation that will win over most dessert lovers.
