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 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.

6. Step 6: Gently fold in the sprinkles.

Tips & Variations

• Use different colored sprinkles or themed confetti to match holidays or celebrations.
• Swap heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter dip consistency.
• Chill the dough longer for firmer cookie fries and easier cutting.
• If you don’t have a crinkle cutter, a sharp knife works fine for straight edges.

Storage

Store leftover cookie fries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep the frosting dip refrigerated and use within 2 days. Reheat cookie fries briefly in a warm oven for a freshly-baked feel, but do not microwave the frosting dip.
