Kellogg's Saves Mother's Cookies

KelloggsSavesMothersCookies.jpg

We will try writing this through our tears of joy. See, Kellogg's, according to Serious Eats, is saving Mother's Cookies from being a delicious memory of the past. Oakland-based Mother's Cookies, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October, called it quits, leaving many cookie fans crestfallen. But with Kellogg's announcing it "would acquire trademarks and recipes to the famous Circus Animal cookies, as well as the sandwich cookies and wire-cut cookies," there is much to rejoice about on this most holiest of days. Praise God, indeed.

thanks for the update--that was waaaaaaay too close for comfort

And lo, there rose up a new Cookie over Egypt.

I just threw up in my mouth a little. Out of sheer joy.

They better bring back the Flaky Flix. So f'ing good.

Yay! I can finally sit down and shove my remaining Circus Animals one by one into my gaping maw, content in the knowledge that there are more on their way! What about Flaky Flix?

But I already bought my Goodbye Mothers Cookies t-shirt....

Thank the Baby Jesus! It really will be a Merry Christmas this year.

TheCharlie: then the joke is "I just came in my mouth a little."

I duuunnno, I'm pretty skeptical that this won't be some kind of Keebler ruination. Regardless of whether Keebler is involved, you never know. I've still got two bags of Circus Animals in the fridge and while the first one is going to be consumed at Christmas, I won't be opening the second one until these Kellogg's ones come out or my birthday, whichever is sooner.

manys: but the mouth is not the origin (or outlet) of that particular substance. I think my jeans would be a better receptacle for an accidental, uncontrollable ... I can't even type it.

I think the joke involves cream (frosting)...

I'm thawing a bag of Circus Animals right now. There will be a celebration of both the return of Mother's and the repeal of prohibition this evening. Cookies and Bourbon all night long.

Dang! There goes my plan to sell my massive cache of Circus Animals on EBAY! I am so down, John McCain himself told me that EBAY sales were the way to weather these jobless times, and I had a great plan. I say "damn you capitalism!" and I'm not even a executive asking for a bailout - just a man with a dream of selling cookies for 10K a bag on the internet!

TheCharlie: "...but why would a chicken cross the road when it could just fly? Are you saying the chicken's wings have been amputated? I know chickens aren't the greatest flyers, but with all those cars..."
