Ingredients

Scale

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.
