They’re Back: Mother’s Circus Animal Cookies
By Lando • May 27th, 2009 • Category: UpdatesI still remember seeing these pink and white sprinkled covered cookies on store shelves growing up. What I didn’t know was financial problems led to the closure of the Mother’s Cookies factory late 2008. Many Mother’s Cookies fans feared that they wouldn’t get to taste their favorite snacks anymore. No worries here about disappearing cookies. Kellogg’s has purchased the trademarks and original recipes to the Mother’s Cookies product line. It looks like we’ll still be seeing iced camels and elephants on store shelves still.
To celebrate the relaunch of Mother’s Cookies, I received a sample of the newly relaunched Circus Animal Cookies from Foodbuzz’s Tastemaker Program. They taste the same as I remembered back in the day. These lightly sweet frosted cookies took me back. Being grown up, it’s a good feeling that you can still enjoy something fun like pink and white animal cookies.
If you haven’t done so already, head to your local grocery store and pick up a bag of Mother’s Cookies. Special thanks goes out to Foodbuzz’s Tastemaker Program and Kellogg’s for the sample of Circus Animal Cookies.

I LOVE these cookies and were so sad when they were discontinued! I’m so glad they’re back! They totally bring me back to my childhood and the fieldtrip we took to the Mother’s factory in elementary school.
Your trip to the Mother’s Cookies factory must have been a fun experience, being young and seeing all what goes on behind the scenes. I like how a lot of people feel that these cookies bring back old memories.
