Sweet Martha's Cookies Copycat Easy Recipe

It’s a yummy tradition to have Sweet Martha’s chocolate chip cookies at Minnesota State Fair. They serve warm cookies loaded with small, slushy chocolate chips in beautiful small buckets! Some people like to eat them all at the fair, while some pack them up to consume them later at home. Some even store them in the freezer to savor throughout the year!

If you want to make and enjoy these cookies, then look no further, I have successfully doubled their recipe. You can follow this recipe to enjoy the best chocolate chip cookies ever. To make these cookies at home, you need a large mixer because you are going to make a ton of dough. I use a Professional Viking Mixer and it gets filled with dough up to 75%. I made this dough for 200 cookies for my special “Cupcake Friday.”

It’s pretty easy to make this many cookies at home. I have a couple of baking sheets that can be used to make 30 cookies at a time. I baked cookies in both simultaneously, and it took me about one hour to bake 200 cookies.

Ingredients

  • (2 cups minus 2 tablespoons) of Cake Flour
  • 11/4 teaspoon of Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon of Sea Salt
  • 21/2 sticks of Salted Butter (softened)
  • 11/4 cup of Brown Sugar (both Light and Dark Brown Sugar work well)
  • (1 cup + 2 tablespoons) Sugar
  • 12/3 cup of Bread Flour
  • 1 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 11/2  teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Egg
  • Finishing Salt
  • 2 tablespoons of Instant Espresso Powder (Optional)
  • 1 bag of small, semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

How to make Sweet Martha’s cookies

  • Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk them well. You can also add Espresso Powder if you want to enhance the taste. Make sure not to add the finishing salt yet. This will be sprinkled on the baked cookies.
  • Take a mixing bowl. Add sugar and softened butter sticks and beat them well for about 2 – 3 minutes until fluffy. Now add the egg yolks and egg, one by one. And mix them well. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence and mix until well combined.
  • Now set the mixer to the slowest speed and add the dry mixture slowly and gradually. Mix them just barely to combine. Some streaks of the flour are okay.
  • Now remove the mixing bowl from the mixer and add chocolate chips. Mix them with the help of a spatula to distribute them evenly.
  • Divide the dough into four equal parts. Place each portion of the cookie dough in plastic wrap. Shape the dough into rectangular disks which are about ½ inch thick. Wrap the disks tightly and keep them in the freezer for 45 minutes. You can refrigerate the dough for a few hours or even overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Roll the dough with a rolling pin while still wrapped in the plastic sheet. This will give an even surface to the dough.
  • Now unwrap the down and cut it into ½-inch horizontal strips using a knife or the pizza cutter. Now cut the strips into ½-inch vertical strips. Make sure the cookie dough is about the size of your thumbnail.
  • Place the parchment paper into the baking sheet and spread the cookie dough over it. Make sure to keep a 1-inch space in between the cookies.
  • Place them in the oven and bake for 6 – 8 minutes. This will allow the cookies to be a bit under-cooked. Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle the finishing salt over them. Place the cookies on a cooling rack and serve them warm.

Serving options for Sweet Martha’s cookies:

You can serve the cookies with ice-cold milk as Sweet Martha’s cookie vendor does. Also, you can pair them with vanilla ice cream as well. You can turn them into ice cream cookies or delicious cream pie cookies. Another great option is to dip them half into the melted chocolate.
