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
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, and baking powder until evenly mixed.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the slightly melted butter and brown sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the room temperature egg and pure vanilla extract until fully combined, approximately 30 seconds.
- Mix Dry Ingredients Into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat on low speed just until combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold the colorful edible confetti or sprinkles into the dough, distributing them evenly.
- Chill Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm up for easier rolling.
- Roll Out Dough: Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Divide the dough into thirds and roll out one portion to about 3/8-inch thickness.
- Cut Cookie Fries: Using a crinkle cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into strips approximately 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long to mimic fries of varying sizes for a fun look.
- Freeze Before Baking: Arrange the cookie fries on the prepared baking sheets and freeze for 20 minutes to help maintain their shape during baking.
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) while the fries are freezing to ensure it’s ready.
- Bake Cookie Fries: Remove the frozen cookie fries from the freezer and bake one tray at a time on the center oven rack for 10-12 minutes. The fries will be soft coming out but will firm up as they cool on the hot baking sheet.
- Make Frosting Dip: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Place the frosting dip in a bowl alongside the cooled cookie fries and enjoy this playful and delicious treat.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is slightly melted but not hot to help creaming with sugar easier.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
- Freezing the fries before baking is crucial to maintain their shape.
- Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet to firm up before handling.
- Use a crinkle cutter for authentic fries appearance or a sharp knife for straight edges.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
