Mother's Cookies are Coming Back!

bag of Mother's CookiesLast October, we learned that Mother's Cookies, the iconic west coast cookie maker who baked up those cute little pink and white frosted animal cookies, was going out of business. People who knew and loved their cookies were heart-broken, so many of us grew up eating those be-sprinkled cookies and couldn't imagine a world without them in it.

Happily, we no longer have to mourn the passing of those cheerful cookies, as the Kellogg Company announced on Wednesday that they will buying the Mother's brand and will be bringing back their most popular flavors, incorporating them into their snacks business unit. Oh happy day!
