Ingredients

Butter Mixture

  • 120 grams butter

Sugar and Egg

  • 30 grams brown sugar
  • 60 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 160 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Add-ins

  • 150 grams milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Place the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly to ensure even melting and to prevent burning. Watch as the butter foams, then turns golden brown with a nutty aroma and brown specks form at the bottom of the pan. Remove immediately from heat to avoid burning and allow to cool slightly.
  2. Combine Sugars and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the cooled browned butter. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Add the Egg: Add the egg to the sugar and butter mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated. The texture should become slightly caramelized and glossy, thanks to the tempered egg and browned butter.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking powder and all-purpose flour using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to ensure tender cookie fries.
  5. Adjust Dough Consistency: The dough should be sticky but manageable—not too wet or dry. If it’s too wet, gradually add a little more flour until the consistency is right.
  6. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the milk chocolate chips into the dough. Milk chocolate is preferred for its creamy sweetness which complements the browned butter flavor.
  7. Shape the Dough: Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper, then place the dough on it. Roll out into an even rectangle. Cut the dough into thin strips resembling fries using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  8. Freeze the Strips: Place the cookie fries on the parchment paper in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up for easier handling.
  9. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Use a bench scraper or flat spatula to carefully lift the chilled cookie fries from the parchment paper. Place the same parchment paper onto a baking sheet and arrange the fries evenly spaced on the sheet.
  10. Final Chill: Freeze the arranged cookie fries again for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This step helps the fries hold their shape during baking.
  11. Bake: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). After preheating, bake the cookie fries for about 13 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers remain slightly soft. Allow to cool on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

  • Use a light-colored saucepan to better monitor the butter browning process.
  • Cooling the browned butter before mixing with the egg is crucial to prevent the egg from cooking prematurely.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to prevent tough cookies.
  • Freezing the shaped dough strips twice ensures the fries maintain their shape and texture when baked.
  • Milk chocolate chips pair best with browned butter but feel free to try semi-sweet or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.
  • Store baked cookie fries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
