Suebob, your words are harsh and have no room for nostalgia. But they are sadly probably true nonetheless.

Their cookies were always kind of foul but I ate them anyway because that is what my mom bought.

Never had them, but sounds like it made a big impression on a lot of kids, creating some great childhood memories. How sad.

As kind of a sidenote, Mother’s Cookies used to have a baseball card day at Candelstick Park, back in the 80s. You’d go to a ballgame and get a pack of cards with the Mothers cookies logo. I still have some, somehere in the packratting collections.

You’re right about that Darin…they’ve surely changed the recipe quite a bit since the first cookies were made back in 1914. But still…yummy.

Well, I agree it’s a bit sad. I’m a huge fan of dunking their oatmeal cookies in milk…however, I have to admit that hydrogenated oil cookies really aren’t a good thing…my mouth of course disagrees, but I know they can’t be good. Mother wouldn’t have, actually.

Well, at least the company won’t have trouble unloading their inventory — if the sentiments here in the comment section are any indication.

I don’t think I have ever had a Mother’s Cookie, but it is a sad day indeed when a cookie company goes under.

I went at lunch and bought iced oatmeal, taffy, peanut butter gauchos and shortbread. Sigh. I’m a dork.

I have very fond memories of the iced circus animal cookies, but I think they are way too sweet now.

I don’t know this brand. I wonder if they distributed here.

I am SO SAD!
The Circus cookies and the Iced Oatmeal have always been my favorites. Oh and those Wafer cookies too. Many childhood memories in those cookies.

I will hold onto the memory of going to the factory as a kid even tighter now.

Even though the Circus Cookies are terribly fully of fat and calories, I’m going to go buy some tonight.

Spence and I saw that on TV…he’s always bugged me for the Circus cookies…guess I get some today and surprise him with them after school…one last time. Sniff.
