Here’s recipe two from T’s and my’s Thursday night cinco de mayo dinner! Churro Cookies. Yes, they are just as glamorous as they sound. I promise. And actually, they’re amazingly simple. There’s–count ’em–only 6 ingredients! Now I don’t make these every day just because puff pastry is rather expensive (for cookie making), but let me tell you, they are like little bites of heaven.

I did forget to add that extra drizzle of caramel, but you know, that’s how these things go.
