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 during baking.
  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: In a mixing bowl, beat the slightly melted unsalted butter and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on high speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the room-temperature egg and pure vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, blending for about 30 seconds until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed just until everything is combined; avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
  6. Fold in sprinkles: Using a spatula, gently fold the colorful edible confetti or sprinkles into the dough to evenly distribute them without breaking them.
  7. Chill the dough: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm it up for easier rolling.
  8. Roll out dough: Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Place one-third of the chilled dough on the surface and roll it out to approximately 3/8 inch thickness.
  9. Cut cookie fries: Using a crinkle cutter or a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into sticks about 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long. Make sizes slightly varied to mimic real fries’ appearance.
  10. Freeze cookie fries: Arrange the cut cookie fries on the prepared baking sheets and freeze them for 20 minutes to help maintain their shape during baking.
  11. Preheat oven: Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) while the cookie fries are freezing.
  12. Bake cookie fries: Remove one tray of frozen cookie fries at a time from the freezer, place it on the center rack of the oven, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies will still be soft when removed but will firm up as they cool on the hot baking sheet.
  13. Prepare frosting dip: In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  14. Serve: Transfer the frosting dip to a serving bowl and serve alongside the warm cookie fries for dipping.

Notes

  • For best results, keep the dough chilled to prevent spreading while baking.
  • Use room temperature egg and softened cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing.
  • The frosting dip can be refrigerated and gently stirred before serving if prepared ahead.
  • Variations can include different colored sprinkles or adding a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • These cookie fries are best enjoyed the same day for optimal texture but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
