Phoood Hall of Fame: Mother’s Circus Animal Cookies
Every since I can remember, my favorite cookies have been Mother’s Circus Animal Cookies. To this day, my mouth still waters every time I see a bag of them as I walk down the cookie and cracker aisle. These pink and white-frosted cookies with sprinkles are probably aimed at the 10-and-under market, but I don’t care – I love them anyway. I’m don’t know if Mother’s cookies are available in all states. If they’re not, then I feel sorry for those of you that can’t get them. You are really missing out. Keebler makes a similar cookie, and I’m sure other cookie makers do to. But I’ve never tried these others – it would be like cheating on a girlfriend. Did you know that you can improve the taste of these cookies by putting them in the freezer? It’s the only way I eat them. For some reason (maybe a scientist could explain in to me…), they just taste better when frozen. Try it and I bet you’ll agree.
dude, i love those cookies too. not sure if as much as you, but they are certainly a delight.

It was the first thing I thought of ... these things are sooo good. I've never tried them frozen, though, they don't last that long! I haven't had any in a long time, I'll have to go buy some and put them in the freezer tonight! Thanks for the suggestion.

Posted by: cheerycherry at September 29, 2005 2:53 PMjim, you sure brought back some mighty good childhood memories when i saw the pix of these cookies. unfortunately i live in israel and we don't have them (and even if we did, they probably aren't kosher so they would be even harder to find.) good job posting the pix though, made my mouth water in memory or the better days...

Posted by: C oOkIE at May 1, 2006 12:00 PMThese are awesome! I recently re-discovered them in the aisle of Kroger. First I bought the Archway brand and they were very good, yesterday I saw that Keebler has them too and they were even better, a little thinner, crisper.

Posted by: santa the woman at December 4, 2006 3:21 PMI LOVE these cookies! They're the greatest thing to ever happen to me since the days of Crystal Pepsi. I usually eat them with milk, and I recently tried your idea of freezing them, which, I must say, is DELICIOUS!
