This is the state fair cookie recipe! My family frequently asks for it

The State Fair Cookie is a delightful nod to nostalgia, channeling the essence of those warm, bustling days spent at the local fairgrounds. These cookies are packed with flavor and a hint of the classic treat-on-a-stick vibe, making them a fun and indulgent treat for any occasion. Originating from the love of merging classic fairground flavors into portable delights, these cookies are perfect for anyone who wants to recreate a bit of that fair magic at home.

State Fair Cookies are best enjoyed with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee, making them perfect for an afternoon snack or a comforting dessert. They also pair wonderfully with a fresh fruit salad on the side, bringing a bit of freshness to the rich, sweet flavors.
