Last fall I reported that Mother’s™ Cookies had gone out of business. Well I’m happy to announce that they are back!

Kellogg’s purchased the original recipes and the brand and have re-introduced them in West Coast stores starting this week. This comes on the heels of the 95th Anniversary of both Mother’s Day and the Mother’s brand.

I grew up with these cookies and glad they are back. Foodbuzz a food website of which my blog is part of, was able to arrange for Foodbuzz Featured Publishers to get a first glimpse of the re-release of Mother’s. The packaging looks exactly the same, no Kellogg branding on the bag except at the bottom that says Distributed by Kellogg Sales.

Several of my coworkers have sampled them. Amy in my accounting department said “Mmmmmm mmmmm…” while Heather gave them a 2-thumbs up! Another co-worker, Lisa said that when she found out that Mother’s went out of business she was very sad. She came up to sample a cookie or two and walked away with a smile on her face!

Question, have the Circus Animal cookies always had zero Trans Fat and Cholesterol free? With this in mind, 0ne employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said “They taste a bit different…”

I’m heading to my grocery market this evening (after celebrating Cinco de Mayo) and checking out if my store has put them out.
