tall grass folk festival cookie

Baker Tabitha Langel Tall Grass Prairie Bakery

Tall Grass Prairie Bakery's famous Folk Fest Cookie

First published in the summer of 2001, this cookie recipe continues to be one of our most requested.

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cup white flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup flax
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
METHOD
Mix butter with both sugars until evenly incorporated. Add eggs, water and vanilla, stir until just mixed. Add all the dry ingredients, mix until evenly combined. The dough will be sticky and soft. Chill for 30 minutes before shaping. Drop one rounded tablespoon of dough onto a greased cookie sheet or onto baking parchment. Press each cookie flat (the dough will not flatten without help). Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes. When done,they should be lightly browned and firm to the touch. Folk Festival cookies are best if baked the same day as mixed.
Yield 4 dozen cookies
