Tall Grass Prairie Bakery
A local favourite, this chewy cookie is full of grainy goodness. It is also one of Ciao! magazine’s most requested recipes.
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 dry ingredients, mix until evenly combined. The dough will be sticky and soft. Chill for 30 min before shaping.
- Drop one rounded Tbsp of dough onto a greased cookie sheet or parchment lined sheet. Press each cookie flat.
- 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.
