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 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.
