Another week, another viral baking trend. And this week, it’s the turn on cookie fries. But these aren’t just any old cookie fries, these are the famous vegan cookie fries served at Disney World – a favourite with the millions of visitors who flock to the parks each year.
And, seeing as Disney fans are unable to get their cookie fries fix at the moment, Disney World has released the recipe for people to try at home. The rectangle-shaped cookie dough sticks are served to resemble traditional French fries, complete with their own dips, although, the standard ketchup and mustard are replaced with something slightly sweeter. The recipe is completely plant-based, which will please vegans around the world.
Here’s how to make your own cookie fries …
Ingredients
2 ¾ cup (350g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (65 g) plus one tablespoon powdered sugar
½ cup (65g) plus one tablespoon plant-based margarine (softened)
7 tbsps warm water
5 tbsps liquid egg substitute
1 tbsp molasses
1/2 cup (90g) dairy-free mini chocolate chips
Method
Combine flour, powdered sugar and plant-based margarine in a bowl and mix with an electric whisk until smooth. Next, in a small bowl, combine the warm water and egg substitute, then add egg and water mix and molasses to the flour, sugar and margarine, mixing on medium speed until smooth. Add the chocolate chips. Place the mixture in an 8×8-inch pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 160°C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Once cooled, cut the mix into 32 strips that are 1/4-inch wide and 4 inches long. Place 16 strips on each baking sheet and bake for between 20-22 minutes, until crunchy.
Disney did not release a recipe for its dipping sauces, but it chooses to serve its cookie friends with marshmallow, strawberry and chocolate sauces, and encourages bakers to do the same.
A number of social media users have already given the recipe a go at home, with some great attempts so far.
Disney World is the latest establishment to release the secrets of its top recipes for fans to recreate during lockdown. Last week, Ikea released its famous meatball recipe, while Pret told people how to make its vegan cookies.

Which honey takes your fancy?
Al Ghaf Honey
The Al Ghaf tree is a local desert tree which bears the harsh summers with drought and high temperatures. From the rich flowers, bees that pollinate this tree can produce delicious red colour honey in June and July each year
Sidr Honey
The Sidr tree is an evergreen tree with long and strong forked branches. The blossom from this tree is called Yabyab, which provides rich food for bees to produce honey in October and November. This honey is the most expensive, but tastiest
Samar Honey
The Samar tree trunk, leaves and blossom contains Barm which is the secret of healing. You can enjoy the best types of honey from this tree every year in May and June. It is an historical witness to the life of the Emirati nation which represents the harsh desert and mountain environments

Between the start of the 2020 IPL on September 20, and the end of the Pakistan Super League this coming Thursday, the Zayed Cricket Stadium has had an unprecedented amount of traffic.
Never before has a ground in this country – or perhaps anywhere in the world – had such a volume of major-match cricket.
And yet scoring has remained high, and Abu Dhabi has seen some classic encounters in every format of the game.
