Sweet Martha's Cookie Jar

Amazing cookies! Fast service and hot food. Located by the grandstand and can get pretty busy.

What the hell, I thought the whole gimmick was to overfill the bucket??? They scooped out the remaining cookies on the sheet, which didn’t even fill the bucket fully, put the cap on, and gave it to me. Worst part is the cookies I got weren’t even chewy, they were all brittle edge pieces. 1st and last time at Martha’s cookies.

A must while at the Minnesota State Fair. They fill the bucket overflowing. But you have to eat while they're warm!

Best cookies (possibly best food) at the fair. Get an overflowing bucket of chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk. We always get the cookies and then walk a few blocks to all you can drink milk. For only $2 you can drink all you want white or chocolate. It’s next to the cattle barn.

An iconic experience. Delicious cookies, insane service and you can see it all happening at the stand. Only downside is the waiting, line wasn’t super organized. Can purchase a cup of cookies (generously stacked) or a bucket of cookies (also generously served, expect to eat ~10 before reliable transport).

Martha’s cookies are amazing and always my go to spot whenever I go to the fair. I requested that my cookie container wouldn’t be overfilled so we could close it, but it wasn’t even filled to the top. As we exited we noticed it wasn’t full so went back and were instantly denied service. It wasn’t even 30 seconds til we walked out of the exit line, the staff saw us. The staff were very rude/aggressive, told us to leave and there’s “nothing they could do,” and “their employees would never fill up a bucket that low.” We even told them to confirm with the employee that served us and we showed them our box. -10/10 customer service.

We waited in line for over an hour, and the moment we are finally next they close down because they ran out of cookies. They should limit the amount of buckets per person, especially on the last day. You should also be prepared for such a large event, especially since you’ve been there for years and are aware you are a popular stand. Also, the head honcho lady was a psychopath.

I live in Wisconsin (Milwaukee) but come to the MN State Fair every year and getting Sweet Martha's Cookies by the pail, even if I don't have enough people to eat them, has been a tradition for almost a decade. This is the first time that I was disappointed. Our cookies were undercooked so they crumbled immediately. Figured they would firm up after they cooled a bit but it actually got worse. They are now just a blob of semi-firm crumbly undercooked dough. Look at my pic. I was so excited!! Disappointed :(
