Churro Cookies – These cookies are the perfect. Caramel gets sandwiched between puff pastry and then tossed in cinnamon sugar for a simple and fast, yet completely addicting treat.
Where was the churro born? There’s likely a very simple answer to that. It was in Spain, Portugal or China, depending on whether you ask someone from Spain, Portugal or China. No doubt I’m leaving out a dozen countries with persuasive arguments when looked at from the inside, but you get the idea. One thing’s for sure, though. The quickest way to get into an argument over the origin of a food is to claim it as your own.
