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 to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, and baking powder until fully combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the slightly melted unsalted butter with brown sugar on high speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy, incorporating air for a tender cookie.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the room-temperature egg and pure vanilla extract, continuing to mix for around 30 seconds until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
  6. Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold the colorful edible confetti or sprinkles into the dough evenly for vibrant pockets of color.
  7. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm the dough, making it easier to roll out and cut.
  8. Roll Dough: Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Divide the dough into thirds, placing one-third on the work surface and rolling it out to about 3/8 inch thickness.
  9. Cut Cookie Fries: Using a crinkle cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into fries approximately 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long. Vary the sizes slightly for a more natural fry appearance.
  10. Freeze Cookie Fries: Arrange cut cookie fries on the prepared baking sheets that fit into your freezer. Freeze them for 20 minutes to help them hold their shape when baking.
  11. Preheat Oven: While freezing the fries, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking.
  12. Bake Cookie Fries: Remove the frozen cookie fries from the freezer. Place one tray at a time in the center of the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The fries will appear soft when done but will continue to firm as they cool on the hot baking sheet.
  13. Prepare Frosting Dip: In a bowl, mix the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, perfect for dipping.
  14. Serve: Transfer the frosting dip to a serving bowl and serve alongside the slightly cooled cookie fries for dipping and enjoying.

Notes

  • Ensure the egg is at room temperature to help the dough mix evenly and prevent curdling.
  • Chilling and freezing the dough is crucial to maintain the cookie fries’ shape during baking.
  • Do not overbake the cookie fries; they should be slightly soft when taken out to avoid drying out.
  • Use a crinkle cutter for a fun, textured edge, but a sharp knife works well too.
  • The frosting dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
