I can’t think of anything that’s come out of a deep fryer that I didn’t like, and cookies certainly won’t disrupt that pattern. There are cookies that are intended to be fried, like khanom dok jog, or these rosette cookies, but it’s not advisable to put high-fat drop cookies straight into a fryer, because they’ll break apart and soak up too much oil as they cook. You’ll have to batter them. (Oh darn, battered and fried? How awful.) This recipe uses pancake mix to make the outside coating. Ball up the cookie dough, dunk them in the thick batter, and drop them in the hot frying oil. Toss them in a light dusting of powdered sugar, and enjoy all of the glorious fried cookie textures.
