INGREDIENTS

    • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons semolina flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoons sprinkles
    • Oil for frying
    • For the raspberry ketchup:
    • 6 ounces raspberries
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 1/4 cup raspberry jam
    • Special equipment:
    • Crinkle cutter

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. To make the cookies: Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2. In a bowl, mix together flour, semolina flour, and salt until incorporated. Use a fork to cut the butter into the mixture, like you would a shortbread cookie until it's mixed in.

    3. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and powdered sugar until it gets light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until incorporated. Slowly mix in the flour mixture until a sticky dough forms. Add sprinkles and continue mixing.

    4. Roll the dough out and use a crinkle cutter to cut french fries out of the dough. Place cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 3 minutes to cool slightly.

    5. Meanwhile, heat oil in a heavy-bottomed stockpot to 350ºF. Fry cookies until the outside is just turning golden brown. Remove from the oil and let drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.

    6. To make the ketchup: Add raspberries and water into a pot over medium heat. Stir the raspberries until they boil and soften. Add the jam and continue mixing until warmed through and incorporated. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds.
