Cookie fries take everything you love about chocolate chip cookies and transform them into a dippable, shareable snack. The dough is simple to mix, rolled thin, and cut with a crinkle cutter to mimic the look of French fries.

Baking them at a high temperature for a short time gives them a crisp exterior and a tender, chewy center. Served with warm chocolate fudge sauce, they're an irresistible treat for parties, movie nights, or any time you want a little whimsy with your dessert.

Ingredients

Why this recipe works

The method here is all about texture. By rolling the dough thin and cutting it into strips, you increase the surface area that gets exposed to the oven's heat. This means more crispy edges and a satisfying crunch in every bite. The short, hot bake ensures the cookies are cooked through without becoming dry, leaving a delicate crumb that snaps cleanly when you break it.

Using a crinkle cutter does more than make the fries look authentic. The wavy edges create tiny ridges that catch the chocolate fudge dip, giving you more flavor in every dunk.

The combination of dark brown sugar and granulated sugar provides both depth and sweetness, while the mini chocolate chips melt into little pockets of gooey chocolate that contrast beautifully with the crisp cookie.

Notes and substitutions

The ingredients are pantry staples, but a few choices matter. Dark brown sugar adds a deeper molasses flavor than light brown, but either works. Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature so it creams properly with the sugars.

Mini chocolate chips are ideal because they distribute evenly in the thin strips, but you can chop regular chocolate chips if that's what you have.

A crinkle vegetable cutter is the key tool for getting the signature wavy edges. If you don't have one, a sharp knife can cut straight strips, but the texture will be slightly different. You can also use a pizza cutter for straight lines. For the dip, use a good-quality chocolate fudge sauce that warms up smoothly, or make your own by melting chocolate chips with a little cream.

• dark brown sugar: light brown sugar can be used, but the cookies will be slightly less molasses-rich and a touch less chewy.
• mini chocolate chips: regular chocolate chips or chopped chocolate can be used, but mini chips distribute more evenly in the thin strips.
• unsalted butter: salted butter can be used; just omit the added salt if using salted butter, though this recipe doesn't call for salt.
• all-purpose flour: gluten-free all-purpose flour blends (with xanthan gum) work in a 1:1 swap, but the texture may be slightly more crumbly.
