1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup sugar

Instructions
Here's how to make Oreo churros:
In a saucepan, combine the water, butter, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the flour and stir until the mixture forms a ball.
Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F.
Transfer the churro batter to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
Roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips
Here are some tips to make the perfect Oreo churros:
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the churros. If the oil is too cold, the churros will be greasy and undercooked.
Use a large star tip for piping the churro batter. This will give the churros their characteristic ridges and crispy texture.
Roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they're still warm. This will help the sugar stick to the churros and give them a sweet, crunchy coating.
Serve the churros with a dipping sauce, such as chocolate sauce or caramel sauce, for an extra decadent treat.
If you don't have a deep fryer, you can use a heavy-bottomed pot to fry the churros. Just make sure the pot is deep enough to hold the oil and the churros without overflowing.
Conclusion
These Oreo churros are a fun and delicious twist on traditional churros. They're easy to make and perfect for sharing with friends and family. Whether you're looking for a sweet snack or a dessert that's sure to impress, give these Oreo churros a try.
