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)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line 2 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 aside.
3. Step 3: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar on high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
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 just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
6. Step 6: Gently fold in the colorful sprinkles.
7. Step 7: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
8. Step 8: Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out one third of the dough to about 3/8 inch thickness.

11. Step 11: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Step 12: Bake the frozen cookie fries one tray at a time on the center rack for 10-12 minutes. They will remain soft but finish baking on the hot tray outside the oven.
13. Step 13: For the frosting dip, mix the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a bowl until smooth. Serve alongside the fries.

Tips & Variations

• Use a variety of colorful sprinkles for a festive look or swap them for mini chocolate chips for a different flavor.
• Chilling the dough thoroughly before rolling helps the cookie fries keep their shape while baking.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a warm, spiced flavor.
• For a lighter dip, substitute half of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.

Storage

Store baked cookie fries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep the frosting dip refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 4 days. Reheat fries briefly in a low oven or toaster oven to regain crispness before serving with chilled dip.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead and freeze it?

Yes, you can wrap the dough tightly and freeze it for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before rolling and cutting into fries.

What type of sprinkles work best?

Use edible confetti or jimmies that are sturdy enough to hold up during baking. Avoid delicate or highly sugary sprinkles that may melt excessively.

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

• 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 them aside to use later.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, and baking powder thoroughly; set this mixture aside.
3. Cream butter and sugar: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the slightly melted butter and brown sugar on high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until completely incorporated, about 30 seconds.
5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low just until combined, being careful not to overmix the dough.
6. Fold in sprinkles: Gently fold the colorful edible confetti or sprinkles into the dough evenly.
7. Chill dough: Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm it up before rolling.
8. Roll out dough: Lightly flour a clean surface. Divide the dough into thirds and roll one portion out to about 3/8 inch thickness.
9. Cut cookie fries: Using a crinkle cutter or sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into strips approximately 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long, varying sizes slightly for a natural fry look.
10. Freeze shaped fries: Place the cut cookie fries on the prepared baking sheets and freeze them for 20 minutes to help them hold their shape during baking.
11. Preheat oven: While the fries are freezing, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Bake cookie fries: Remove one tray of frozen cookie fries at a time and bake on the center rack for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will remain soft and will continue to set on the hot baking tray after removal from the oven.
13. Make frosting dip: In a bowl, combine heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth and creamy, then serve alongside the warm cookie fries.

Notes

• Be careful not to overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to keep the cookies tender.
• Freezing the shaped cookie fries before baking helps maintain their distinctive fry shape without spreading.
• Cookie fries are best enjoyed warm when dipped in the creamy frosting sauce.
• Use a crinkle cutter for fun textured edges, but a sharp knife works fine for straight cuts too.
• Store any leftover cookie fries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze the dough before baking.
