Cookie Fries with Frosting Dip Recipe - Recipe Image

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

Step 1: Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 3: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar on high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, about 30 seconds.
Step 5: Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and beat on low just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6: Fold in the colorful sprinkles gently.
Step 7: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before rolling out.
Step 8: Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out one-third of the dough to about 3/8 inch thickness.
Step 9: Cut the dough into “fries” about 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long using a crinkle cutter or sharp knife, varying the sizes for a natural look.
Step 10: Place the cut cookie fries on baking sheets and freeze for 20 minutes before baking.
Step 11: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 12: Bake the frozen cookie fries on the center rack for 10–12 minutes; they will remain soft but will continue baking slightly on the hot tray after removal.
Step 13: To make the frosting dip, mix the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a bowl until smooth. Serve alongside the cookie fries.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted butter in the dough.
Substitute the sprinkles with chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a different texture.
If you don’t have a crinkle cutter, a sharp knife works just fine to create straight fries.
Chill leftover dough wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 days before baking.

Storage

Store baked cookie fries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their softness. The frosting dip should be refrigerated and consumed within 2 days. Reheat the cookie fries briefly in a low oven or microwave to regain a freshly baked texture.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 3 days before rolling and cutting. Just keep it well wrapped to prevent drying out.

Why do the cookie fries need to be frozen before baking?

Freezing the cookie fries helps them hold their shape during baking and prevents spreading, making the fries look crisp and uniform.

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

Prepare the baking sheets: Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, and baking powder. Set this mixture aside for later use.
Cream butter and sugar: Using a hand mixer 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 egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, which should take approximately 30 seconds.
Combine dry and wet ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat on low speed just until combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the texture tender.
Fold in sprinkles: Gently fold in the colorful edible confetti or sprinkles evenly throughout the dough.
Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm up for easier handling.
Roll out the dough: Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Place a third of the dough on the surface and roll it out to about 3/8-inch thickness.
Cut into fries: Using a crinkle cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into strips approximately 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long. Vary the sizes slightly to mimic real fries.
Freeze the cookie fries: Arrange the cut cookie fries on the prepared baking sheets suitable for the freezer and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up before baking.
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the cookie fries: Remove one tray from the freezer at a time and bake on the center rack for 10-12 minutes. The cookie fries will still be soft when removed but will continue baking on the hot tray after removal.
Prepare frosting dip: In a bowl, mix together the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Serve: Serve the warm cookie fries alongside the frosting dip for a delightful tasting experience.

Notes

Chilling the dough and freezing the cut fries prior to baking helps maintain their shape and texture.
Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.
The cookie fries will be soft when taken out of the oven but will crisp slightly as they cool.
You can swap sprinkles with chocolate chips or nuts as a variation.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly into the frosting dip.
