Mother's Cookies Goes Bankrupt; Hipster Shirt Memorializes the Animal Cookies
"You don't love us anymore?" the circus animals wonder. Photograph from Food Librarian Mother’s Cookies (responsible for the frosted animal cookies covered in rainbow sprinkles) won't be around for future children. The company, founded in 1914 in Oakland, California, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week, which inspired a halt on all cookie production. Could this be one of the worst ramifications of the economic meltdown yet? The private equity firm that owned Mother's didn't even give employees the federally required 60-day notice, due to "unforeseeable business circumstances." As someone raised on the West Coast, I opened my brown bag to find these often. Non–West Coasters may not understand the joy of little pink and white blobs (supposedly rhinos...Blogwatch: Prudence Pennywise's Chocolate Buttermilk Cookies
Prudy of Prudence Pennywise wanted a dark and spooky snack while reading the vampiric Twilight series (how very of the moment!). A little food for thought, if you will. Something she could devour as quickly as the novel. The result: Chocolate Buttermilk Cookies, crowned with candy corn, which Prudy describes as "brownie-ish." What’s more, according to her estimate, these cookies can be created for just around $3. These cookies make me wonder why vampires crave blood, when really, there is so much chocolate to lust after!...For Your Weekend Dance Party, Milk and Cookies

Photograph from Not Martha Now that Hydrox cookies are back on the shelves, the debate over how they stack up against their competitors has begun. Megan Reardon and Scott Andrew of Not Martha recently put them to a taste test against Oreos and Newman O's. For Overall I liked Oreos while Scott preferred the less sweet Hydrox. I preferred the extra crunch that the Oreos had and found that the flavors were the most balanced. The Newman O's had the crunchiest cookie and I found it had the most pronounced cocoa flavor, but I thought the cookies tasted slightly off, something which came through most when we compared the creme fillings. I haven't tried the Newman O's, though I am...Crazy Craigslist Cookie Ad
From i y e r s on Flickr I've seen my fair share of crazy Craigslist ads, but this one takes it to a whole new level. A bright clean bedroom on Manhattan's Upper West Side can be yours for only $1 a month, if you agree to bake the owner 50 cookies every day by 6 p.m. It sounds easy enough, but there are some pretty specific restrictions attached: Forbidden ingredients include anise, marjoram, allspice, caraway, and oats. I will nevertheless request oatmeal cookies from time to time and you must find a way to make them without oats. Good luck with that. This apartment is clearly being rented out by the Cookie Monster. To anyone who responds...Presidential Candidate Cookies
Now that election season is in full swing, the faces of the candidates are showing up everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Check out these McCain and Obama cookies that Chewonthat spotted at a deli in Northbrook, Illinois. There they are right next to Elmo, Snoopy, and SpongeBob. And don't be surprised if the next time you look in a bakery case you see Joe Biden or Sarah Palin staring back at you. The deli, Max and Benny's, says the vice presidential candidates are next. And the Max and Benny's site is promising to sell the cookies online "soon."...Are You America's Biggest Hydrox Fan?
Do you wax nostalgic over the Hydrox cookie, the original créme-filled chocolate sandwich cookie predecessor to the Oreo? Starting today, Kellogg's is holding a contest to find America's biggest Hydrox fans, the grand prize being a six-month supply of Hydrox cookies and a trip for two to New York City where the winner will attend the 100th anniversary celebration and taste the new cookies that will be available for a limited time in August.

"Me have crazy times in '70s and '80s. Me like the Robert Downey Jr. of cookies." —Cookie Monster, on 'The Colbert Report' Nation, last Thursday, Stephen Colbert got a surprise visit from the Cookie Monster on The Colbert Report, just as he was lamenting the fact that fruit had replaced cookies as American kids' after-school snack of choice. Downright un-American, he said. Last night, on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, the two fake newsmen had a little back-and-forth about Cookie Monster's appearance. Seems the blue dude trashed Colbert's green room after getting angry about his green-room request list. After the jump, videos of Cookie Monster's original appearance and the ridiculous terms of his rider, including triple-stuffed Oreos....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
