With the bail out and presidential election dominating the headlines in October, I failed to realize until now that Mother's Cookies was shut down in mid-October when the parent company filed for bankruptcy. Another one bites the dust. This was a bay area based company, and you may not be familiar with these little yummies if you're not a west-coaster, but let me assure you they are yummy. 3 grams of fat per serving yummy! Which is one reason they've been reserved for only an occasional treat.I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow to see if there are any left on the shelf. If there are, I will buy a bag. And save it for a special occasion. And then I will share it with someone who also has fond childhood memories of little blobby, pink and white frosted cookies with crunchy sprinkles in their lunch sack. Adios my animal cookie friends.
Someone is selling these memorial t-shirts. Cute.
