Mini-Series State Fair of Texas 2018, EPISODE 1: STIFFLER’S MOM’S COOKIE FACTORY, MEET THE SWEET QUEEN OF THE STATE FAIR OF TEXAS

By Sarah Crilley
Bringing my son, Caleb to the State Fair of Texas year after year is something I look forward to. Each trip is unique to its own, and the kick-off to this State Fair season is extra sweet!
Our first stop is Stiffler’s Moms Cookie Factory. This will be our first visit to check it out with founder and owner, Tammy Stiffler.
Tammy Stiffler, nicknamed the Sweet Queen, owner of Stiffler’s Mom’s Cookie Factory is “rolling in the dough” at The State Fair of Texas 2018.. literally!
The newest creation she has brought to the fair is Stiffler’s Mom’s Cookie Factory, “It is homemade through and through!”
Stiffler buckets the fresh baked cookies (up to 3 dozen high!) which draws quite the attention walking through crowds at the fair! “It’s tempting to just want to reach out and grab one when you see someone walking by!”
Tammy and her staff work an entire month prior to the fair preparing for the 24-day event!
Fairgoers can watch the entire cookie baking process: From the big giant red mixer to the cookie dough dropped onto giant baking sheets, you can smell the cookies baking throughout the fair. YUM!
Rough numbers:
Tammy has the capability of making 8,000 cookies per day x 24 days of the State Fair of Texas= 192,000 cookies! (She actually believes it is more than that figure!)
Family owned and operated, Tammy Stiffler’s family has owned concessions since 90’s. They quickly expanded from one stand to several locations throughout the fairgrounds and take pride in bringing new and delicious sweet creations to the fair.
Other Fun Facts:
-The Stiffler’s make homemade ice cream with a John Deere Tractor!
-Tammy and her husband’s first date was at the fair!
-Tammy Stiffler has visited other fairs throughout the country to see what they can bring back to Texas. The Cookie Factory was inspired from Minnesota!
-Stiffler’s are the only stand that does DEEP FRIED DOUBLE STUFFED OREOS!
-“Stiffler’s Mom” is a fun chuckle relation to the movie, American Pie
-Tammy’s Big Tex Choice Awards winners: Fried S’mores, Fried Lemonade, Fried Taste of Autumn Pumpkin Pie
