Description

These Cookie Fries are a delightful twist on traditional cookies, featuring a crispy, fries-like shape made from a gluten-free dough with browned butter for extra richness. Sweetened with coconut sugar and studded with dark chocolate chips, they are baked to perfection and lightly salted on top, offering a unique and delicious treat perfect for snacking or dessert.


Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups gluten free flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Brown the Butter: Place the stick of unsalted butter in a skillet over low to medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter turns a golden brown color, imparting a nutty flavor. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking soda, coconut sugar, and sea salt thoroughly.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the browned butter along with the flavorful brown bits scraped from the skillet, the egg, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir until fully combined.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  6. Form the Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared parchment paper and shape it into a large rectangle about ¼ inch thick to mimic a fries shape.
  7. Chill the Dough: Place the baking pan with the shaped dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to cut.
  8. Cut into Fries: After chilling, remove the dough from the fridge and use a large knife or pizza cutter to slice it into 1-inch wide strips, spacing them apart on the parchment paper.
  9. Bake: Bake the cookie fries in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until they are lightly golden and cooked through.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookie fries from the oven and optionally sprinkle with sea salt. Allow them to cool completely before handling to ensure they hold their shape and achieve a perfect crispy texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the butter constantly while browning to prevent burning and achieve a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Using gluten-free flour makes the recipe suitable for those avoiding gluten, but ensure your blend is suitable for baking.
  • Cooling the dough before cutting helps maintain the fries shape without the dough becoming too sticky or soft.
  • Optional sea salt on top enhances the sweet and salty flavor balance.
  • Letting cookie fries cool completely is crucial for the best texture and to avoid breakage when picked up.
