Back in January we told you about the disappearance of Hydrox Cookies, loved by many but apparently not enough. But fans of the cream-filled cookies take note: they're coming back!
Kellogg is bringing back the cookies in their original recipe, with one big difference: no more trans fats! The cookies will start showing up on store shelves this summer. It's part of the company's way of saying thank you to the hardcore Hydrox fans who wanted the cookies to make a comeback (it's a limited edition, but I'm sure they'll be back for good, right?).
I'm going to get a bag of them and do a taste test with Oreos and settle this "which cookie is better" question once and for all.

A quick story,I found that Famous Amos had a sandwich cookie that came pretty close- I offered one to my niece who was 13 at the time. She said- "you don't understand, I have eaten Hydrox my whole life!"
The great thing is she told me a Hydrox eater as long as I can remember and I am over 50....

If you would like a pic, let me know. I plan to only open one and decide later what to do with the other. I'm very excited to get these on the shelves. We've been anxiously waiting for Kellogg to give the green light.

When they left the shelf, I quite buying store cookies all togather. Thought to my self, couldn't they hang in there like the Cola war. Bring them on I live in Wasington State.

L love hydrox cookies and am going to keep looking for them. Last week before I knew they were ocming back, I studied the cookie isle trying to figure out where they could be. How long have they been gone. I know it's been a long time because I've been thinking about them forever.
