Each entry must include a plate of 9 cookies. Participants are required to provide two copies of their recipe: one copy must include the baker’s name and “Jefferson County Fair,” while the other must not contain any identifying information, as judging will be blind. All recipes must be typed on standard 8½" x 11" paper using a 12- or 14-point font. If a recipe runs longer than one page, additional single-sided sheets may be used. Recipes must be original to the baker entering them, and no prepared mixes are allowed. All cookies must be made entirely from scratch.
To enter the contest, first read the full rules to ensure your entry meets all requirements. Then, on Friday, July 10, bring your cookies to the WSLD Community Tent for check-in.
Upon arrival, please cut up 8 cookies into tiny pieces for the public contest, and split one cookie into 3 pieces for our panel of judges.
