Ingredients:
- 12-16 store-bought or homemade cookies (chocolate chip, Oreos, etc.)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Chocolate sauce or caramel sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
- Dip and Fry the Cookies:
- Working in batches, dip each cookie into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Carefully drop the batter-coated cookies into the hot oil.
- Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the cookies are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the cookies from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve:
- Dust the deep-fried cookies with powdered sugar, if desired.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra treat.
