This recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Fries offers a fun and unique twist on classic chocolate chip cookies by shaping the dough into thin strips that resemble French fries. The dough features rich browned butter and a blend of sugars for a deep caramel flavor, studded with milk chocolate chips for gooey pockets of sweetness. The cookie fries are chilled before baking to maintain their shape and are baked until golden on the edges and soft in the center, delivering a delightful texture and taste perfect for sharing or snacking.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg

Sugars

  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Place the unsalted butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly as it melts, allowing it to foam and develop a golden brown color with a nutty aroma and browned specks at the bottom. Remove immediately from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  2. Combine Sugars and Browned Butter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and slightly cooled browned butter until smooth and fully blended.
  3. Add Egg: Add the egg to the sugar and butter mixture. Whisk until the mixture is glossy and caramel-hued with a smooth texture.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the baking powder and all-purpose flour. Switch to a wooden spoon or silicone spatula and gently fold together just until no dry flour remains. Avoid overmixing. Adjust with a small amount of extra flour if the dough is overly sticky.
  5. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold the milk chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly.
  6. Shape and Cut Cookie Fries: Transfer the dough onto lightly floured parchment paper. Shape into a large, even rectangle, then use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into thin strips resembling fries.
  7. Initial Chill: Set the cut cookie fries in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to help firm them up.
  8. Prepare for Baking: Using a bench scraper or spatula, transfer the chilled strips to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Reuse the same parchment paper.
  9. Final Chill: Place the baking sheet with arranged cookie fries in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour to prevent spreading during baking.
  10. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cookie fries for 13 minutes or until the edges are golden while centers remain slightly soft.

Notes

  • Be sure to brown the butter carefully, watching it closely to avoid burning. It should smell nutty and turn golden brown.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to maintain a tender texture.
  • Chilling the cookie fries before baking is crucial to prevent excessive spreading and keep the fry shape.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips if preferred.
  • Store baked cookie fries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
