Sweet fries made from cookie dough

Preheat the oven to 180°C and heat oil for deep-frying in a narrow, tall saucepan. Combine the flour, semolina, and salt in a bowl and mix together. Add the very soft butter and stir in with a fork or whisk. In a second bowl, beat the eggs with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. As an alternative to the vanilla extract, you can use vanilla extract or 1 sachet of vanilla sugar. Slowly and gradually fold in the flour-semolina mixture using a wooden spoon or similar. Finally, add the colored sprinkles and fold them in as well. If the dough sticks too much to the spoon at the end, you can simply dust it with a little more flour and finish kneading by hand. Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to about 1 cm thick. Using a pizza cutter or serrated knife, cut the dough into thin strips and bake them for 4 minutes on a baking sheet lined with baking paper on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Let the cookies cool for 3 minutes, then place them in the hot oil for a few seconds to brown them nicely. Be careful here, as the cookie fries will overcook very quickly. If the oil is really hot, 2 to 3 seconds is enough. Serve the finished cookie fries fresh after some cooling time. You can also decorate them with some chocolate coating and colorful sprinkles. Warm vanilla pudding and strawberry or raspberry sauce are perfect for dipping.
