Cookie Fries with Frosting Dip Recipe

Introduction

Cookie fries are a playful twist on traditional cookies, cut into crisp, fry-like shapes and baked to perfection. Paired with a creamy frosting dip, they make a fun and delicious treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (slightly melted, 1 stick)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg (room temperature)
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup colorful edible confetti or sprinkles
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder. Set this dry mixture aside.
3. Step 3: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the slightly melted butter and brown sugar on high speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
4. Step 4: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, about 30 seconds.
5. Step 5: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
6. Step 6: Gently fold in the colorful sprinkles with a spatula.
7. Step 7: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
8. Step 8: Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Take one third of the dough and roll it out to about 3/8-inch thickness.
9. Step 9: Using a crinkle cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into strips roughly 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long to resemble fries. Feel free to vary the sizes for a playful look.
10. Step 10: Place the cookie fries on baking sheets that fit in your freezer. Freeze for 20 minutes to chill the dough before baking.
11. Step 11: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Step 12: Bake the frozen cookie fries one tray at a time on the center oven rack for 10-12 minutes. They will remain soft but will firm up slightly as they cool on the hot tray.
13. Step 13: To make the frosting dip, mix the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
14. Step 14: Serve the cookie fries warm with the frosting dip on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For extra color and fun, try mixing different types of sprinkles or edible glitter into the dough.
• If you prefer a firmer cookie fry, bake an additional 1-2 minutes but watch closely to prevent burning.
• Substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a slightly tangier frosting dip.
• Use a fluted pastry wheel for crinkle-cut edges to give the fries a more distinct look.

Storage

Store leftover cookie fries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them crisp. The frosting dip should be kept refrigerated and consumed within 2 days. Reheat cookie fries briefly in a low oven or toaster oven to restore some crispiness before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, the dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before rolling and cutting. Just make sure to let it come slightly to room temperature if too firm before rolling out.

What if I don’t have a crinkle cutter?

A sharp knife works perfectly fine for cutting the cookie fries. Just cut straight strips or make shallow angled cuts to mimic the crinkle effect.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cookie Fries

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, slightly melted (1 stick)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup colorful edible confetti or sprinkles

Frosting Dip

• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside for later use.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, and baking powder to ensure even distribution. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the slightly melted unsalted butter and brown sugar on high speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large room-temperature egg and pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides if necessary.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in the mixer bowl and beat on low speed just until combined to avoid overmixing.
6. Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold the colorful edible confetti or sprinkles into the dough with a spatula to distribute them evenly without breaking them down.
7. Chill Dough: Cover the bowl containing the dough and refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to handle for rolling.
8. Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour a clean work surface. Take approximately one-third of the chilled dough and roll it out to a thickness of 3/8 inch.
9. Cut Cookie Fries: Using a crinkle cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long, creating varied sizes for a playful, fry-like appearance.
10. Freeze the Fries: Arrange the cut cookie fries on the prepared baking sheets that fit into your freezer and freeze them for 20 minutes to help maintain shape during baking.
11. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
12. Bake Cookie Fries: Remove one tray of cookie fries from the freezer and place it on the center rack of the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The fries will remain soft after baking but will firm up slightly as they cool on the hot tray.
13. Make Frosting Dip: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Stir or whisk together until the dip is smooth and creamy.
14. Serve: Transfer the frosting dip to a serving bowl and serve alongside the warm cookie fries for dipping and enjoying.

Notes

• For best results, ensure the egg is at room temperature to blend smoothly into the batter.
• Do not overmix the dough once flour is added to avoid tough cookies.
• Freezing the cookie fries before baking helps prevent spreading and keeps their fry-like shape.
• Use colorful sprinkles to make the cookie fries visually fun and appealing especially for kids.
• Cookie fries will be soft right out of the oven but firm up slightly as they cool on the baking sheet.
• If you prefer a thicker frosting dip, add more cream cheese; for a thinner dip, add a splash more heavy cream.
