Ingredients

Why this recipe works

The method of shaping the dough into thin strips and baking at a relatively high temperature (350°F) creates maximum surface area, allowing the edges to crisp up beautifully while the centers remain slightly chewy.

This dual texture is what makes these fries so addictive—you get a satisfying crunch with every bite, followed by a soft, cookie-like interior.

Using a combination of dark brown sugar and granulated sugar adds depth of flavor and contributes to the chewy texture.

The brown sugar provides molasses notes and moisture, while the granulated sugar aids in spreading and browning. The result is a cookie fry that is golden, crisp, and full of classic chocolate chip cookie flavor.

Notes and substitutions

For the best texture, use unsalted butter and adjust the salt accordingly. If you only have salted butter, reduce the added salt to a pinch. The chocolate chips can be semisweet, milk, or dark—choose your favorite. If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, chop a dark chocolate bar into small chunks instead of using chips.

The dough is quite forgiving, so you can easily double the recipe for a larger batch. If you want to make these ahead, the dough can be shaped and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking—just add a minute or two to the baking time. For a gluten-free version, substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
