Pour about 4 cups oil into a large sauce pot or deep skillet (should be at least 2-inches deep) and heat over medium-high to 375°F.
Combine water, 2 tablespoons oil, brown sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour until a ball of dough forms.
Turn dough into a mixing bowl and cool 5 to 10 minutes until no longer hot to the touch. Add eggs one at a time and combine with electric mixer on medium speed until each egg is fully incorporated into dough.
While dough is cooling, mix sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl and set aside.
Spoon dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 5-inch strips directly into hot oil, using kitchen scissors to cut the dough from the piping bag. Work in batches and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted metal spoon to drain.
While still warm, toss churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated and remove to a serving plate.
Heat chocolate frosting with vanilla and remaining cinnamon in an microwave-safe bowl 20 seconds; stir. If needed, heat in 10 second intervals until thin enough to dip. Dip churros in melted chocolate frosting and serve immediately.
