What is your favorite fried food from the fair? Our family always enjoys funnel cakes, elephant ears, cheese curds, and fried pickles.

The first time we saw deep fried cookies at the fair we had to try them. The crispy outside and soft center is so good.

The dough gets crispy and brown on the outside and the cookie softens into a gooey center. They will literally melt in your mouth!
