My mother-in-law in Winnipeg is an amazing cook, and I am so thankful that she shares her recipe trove with her family and friends. One of my favourite cookies that she makes in the summer is her Winnipeg Folk Fest cookies, so named for the music and hempy festival that occurs in the city around this time of year.
As she says, “These are not the official cookies of the Winnipeg Folk Fest, but they are so wholesome and hippy-like that they should be!”
I baked a batch of these to share with our fellow Blogathoners at The Workspace, and another batch will be made for the Tiny Bites Grand Prize (that you might win if you donate before 6am!)
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon 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 grated coconut
Directions
- Mix butter with sugars.
- Add eggs, water & vanilla and mix well.
- Add all the dry ingredients and stir.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes.
- Drop by the spoonful onto a greased baking sheet and bake at 350F for 12–15 minutes.
When done, they should be lightly browned and firm to the touch. Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies.
