20 Beloved Cookies That DISAPPEARED From The Pantry!

[@VintageLifestyleUSA]

Whats a beloved cookie that seems to have disappeared over the years?

[@SherryHill-k5y]

@@VintageLifestyleUSA i miss the 3 color coconut cookie!

[@koretechx1]

Ding Dongs are cake, not cookies. And, they're still on the shelves at stores nation wide. Those were Magic Middles". That's a letter "L" in there. Giggles cookies we're a store bought brand and not made at home. Thumbprint cookies and wedding cookies are still made during the holidays and even some grocery store bakeries sell them. I'm sorry to sound so critical but good grief. So many videos from this channel give just inaccurate information. It's frustrating to those of us who grew up during the times you're talking about.

[@robertknight4672]

Ding Dongs are also injected with fillng. The jos louis cake in Canada is similar but composed of two small cake layers. Do to the redish color of the cake customers insist they are red velvet cake when they aren't because they're not made with buttermilk and vinegar. I confirmed that with the manufacturer of Jos Lois.

[@SuV33358]

Lol I know.....cookies???

[@lisacraze1]

“Super Bowl SATURDAYS”??

[@denisehowell7645]

Ding dong are not the same... What they produce now only has the filling right in the middle... They used to be all the way across and the cake was bigger.... I remember unwrappung the tinfoil...

[@subzero308]

Magic middies sounds better tho 😂

[@reneeschnarr6260]

I make spritz cookies and thumbprint cookies along with a shortbread variety of thumbprints.

[@gokathygo]

I still make magic cookie bars (hello dollys) every one loves them

[@paulaolson8956]

Also known as 7 layer bars

[@veronicaferguson8548]

Mothers Iced Animal Cookies are still available! Dairy Queen has a Blizzard made with them! And Leaf DIDN'T discontinue Hydrox! I bought some a few months ago. I loved Lemon Coolers when i was little.I never thought they were for old people.Just that they were delicious

[@SuV33358]

Never heard of hello dollies. We called em '7 layer bars' in NY

[@SherryHill-k5y]

7 layer cookies are ahhhh !❤

[@pattyamato8758]

Yes, or Magic Cookie Bars, but I knew some people called them Hello Dolly Bars

[@nitaonstad9965]

Magic Cookie Bars, mmmm😊

[@sallywhite7678]

Yum! I remember these! I wonder how many grams of sugar are in each portion!? 🤔These cookies (bars) are probably the ones with the most sugar in them of all the cookies described here!

[@BilliePennyH]

Keebler Fudge Sticks are still sold in stores where I live in TN. They are still around! Walmart and Krogers sell them!

[@savingpyro]

Okay, sure, Mexican wedding cookies were coated in powdered sugar, but the cookie itself wasn't all that sweet.

[@Standinthegap4ever]

I’ve made them often but leave out the nuts. I usually roll them in powdered sugar just a bit after they come out of the oven.

[@marylist1236]

Ding Dongs were not cookies, they were cream filled chocolate cakes. Magic bars are still around. Apricot preserves, & raspberry preserves Magic middles, not middies. I call them "the cookie of many names", as they were also Russian Teacakes, Swedish Teacakes, pecan snowballs, pecan butterballs etc.

[@justmejenny7986]

Those lemon coolers were delicious. I still bake most of the cookies shown.

[@leonoranicolaysen2784]

How much do you weigh?

[@rogertemple7193]

At one time or another I've eaten most of these cookies and still do especially Sugar Wafer Cookies and some of the others Thanks for the Memories.🍪🥛🥛🍪

[@juliemoore6957]

I still make spritz, Mexican wedding cookie ( we call them pecan sandies), and peanut butter cookies.

[@itravisoni]

Pecan Sandies don't have the powdered sugar. Wedding cookies do😂

[@robertknight4672]

I make spritz cookies once in awhile usually during the holiday season.

[@NYChica23]

And you can still find Mexican wedding cookies in Mexican bakeries across America

[@juliemoore6957]

Vienna Fingers are still around.

[@darleneponder3314]

I still make every homemade cookie they showed.

[@judyjones5089]

Sorry, but this channel info all round isn't the most accurate.

[@gokathygo]

Ding dongs don’t taste the same as I was a kid, they’re bad now

[@robertknight4672]

Also they're a cake not a cookie. Ding Dongs are also a single thick cake layer that have been injected with cream filling.

[@Dh-rp7gg]

That's because they changed the original recipe in the 80s. They started using High fructose corn syrup and started adding preservatives to make them more shelf stable. Then when the new company took over they changed the recipe again.

[@paulaolson8956]

My Swedish grandmother made Spritz as far back as the 40s. I still make them.

[@junebryant5159]

We still make a large amount of home made cookies, how wonderful they are!!!!!

[@RobertHowe-zv7gs]

I'm happy with chocolate chip cookies from my grocery stores bakery ! ❤

[@nitaonstad9965]

Loved those Lemon Coolers!! ❤

[@gaylaaucoin9075]

I loved lemon sunshine cookies ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mlaiuppa]

Mothers iced animal cookies and Keebler fudge sticks are still available last I looked. Mothers has even added Mystical Creatures with sugar sprinkles instead of jimmies. We still make Spritz every Christmas as well as Mexican Wedding cookies. What I really miss are Flakey Flix. The company went out of business and sold the machine to Mother’s but they never made them. Wafer cookies are still available in various brands in vanilla, strawberry and chocolate in both sugar and sugar-free.

[@patrickdare5356]

I can go to my local Walmart right now and get Ding Dongs, sugar wafers, iced oatmeal cookies, and Vienna Fingers.

[@PChazman1]

I make 7-layer cookies at Christmas.

[@robinpatrick7862]

Chocolate wafer cookies are still sold in supermarkets

[@MsTexas73]

Girl Scouts need to bring the Savanna Smiles back. Those were so good. I like them better than the Lemonades or Lemon Ups.

[@sandyalseth4550]

I still make peanut butter cookies from scratch. Nothing in stores matches the taste!❤❤

[@Antonia-yr8dp]

I loved snackwell

[@tastx3142]

I have been making Spritz cookies since the early 70’s. People now think they are store bought since some have never seen them. Homemade cookies still are though the first choice when at potluck gatherings. I used to make batches during competitions that could last 12 hours and those I didn’t know would shyly ask for one. I made oatmeal chocolate chip but as bars rather than cookies. I have shared recipes with new neighbors who also introduced me to different types. Buckeye balls were given to me and seems to have been unpopular.

[@robinpatrick7862]

People still make peanut butter cookies

[@SherryHill-k5y]

I do!

[@brendaryan306]

I keep hearing things like people ate too much and grew fat or it was calorically heavy. Yet we were all thinner back then. This was also the era where the government was saying fat was bad for us. I learned later in life from a nutritionist that I was short on my daily fats and had to relearn how to include them.

[@justjohnmusicchannel8327]

Ding Dongs are not cookies

[@margaretchayka6878]

I loved Lemon Coolers. Learned how to make my own. Not exactly the same, but darn close. I also always had a Stella Doro cookie mix on hand. Man, I loved those. They had something called an egg biscuit, I found a recipe last year and my nostalgia meter broke.

[@plp666]

Mmmm Hello Dollies. Gotta make those soon ❤

[@robinpatrick7862]

My students love those Angels Thumb Print cookies

[@melissa7233]

Where did you get the idea that Ding Dongs are no longer available? I bought some a month ago at my local Walmart. There's even a store brand version sold there. Same goes for the iced animal cookies. I buy them regularly because I was never allowed to have them as a child.

[@pattyamato8758]

Ding Dongs weren't really 'cookies. Hello Dolly bars were not sold in stores, they were something people made at home because they were so easy and rather fun to make. Trader Joe's sells a lime cookie in the summer, that is similar to the Lemon Coolers. Why does the narration keep saying "Middies" when the package clearly says "Middles"?

[@ponconjahn]

This series makes me giggle. Most of the info is incorrect but the “English Tea Biscuit” origin story commentary is pure gold.

[@SusanCox-pl9qp]

Ding Dongs were cakes, not cookies!

[@andyfoshee2727]

Magic Middies? really? They were Magic MIDDLES. The magic was the fact that the middle of the cookie was stuffed - peanut butter and chocolate mostly. Also, Ding Dongs weren't cookies - they were cream-filled snack cakes. Oh well, both were still tasty and contributed to early onset diabetes no matter what you called them. I miss them.

[@subzero308]

Magic middies sounds better tho lol

[@kailee5694]

OMG. I loved lemon coolers and we made Mexican wedding cookies every Christmas. Then again, me and my best friends in high school made nose print cookies. No, don’t ask what frame of mind we were in.😆. By the way, we always had wafer cookies in the oven. The gas oven kept the outside crisp, but the filling was pretty much melted. So good! BTW, peanut butter cookies have NOT disappeared!

[@btetschner]

A+ video! LOVE IT! Awesome cookies!

[@ellenrussell5391]

Ding Dongs - are simply heaven. YODELS !! (Had a love/hate relationship with those pink coconut fuzzy balls) !!

[@gigijordan8960]

As a Canadian, every time we would travel to the U.S. on vacations, we would load up on Keeblers. We adored them. I can still "taste" them to this day. The peanut butter and chocolate covered waffers were my favorite.

[@robinpatrick7862]

Iced Oatmeal cookies are still available in stores

[@neriashleycabajar1985]

Hello Dollies? Named after the Broadway show! 😊

[@margaretchayka6878]

I literally make all these cookies today, except for the 7-layer magic bars (never really cared for them) and Ding Dongs. Make my own lemon coolers since they were one of my favorite cookies back when, and there was also an Archway iced molasses that went out of the marketplace that I make now. Stella Doro cookies are another one that left the stores. I think you can still get them online

[@blackfoot_jedi8670]

My dad still makes the Mexican wedding cookies during Christmas, but always calls them snowballs.

They love when viewers leave a comment because they get more postings on u tube and are recommended to more people on the vlog. So our complaints are helping them make more money.

Iced oatmeal, wafer cookies, fudge sticks, ding dongs, pb cookies, lemon cookies & lemon bars, hydrox. Are still around We called Dollies magic bars. I still make them, spritz, thumbprint & wedding balls. The homemade versions of these are still better than store bought

[@13BGunBunny]

I remember spreading out the cookie dough on a cookie sheet until it filled the sheet then baking it and cutting it like a brownie into servings.

[@DavidSquires-iy4uv]

I,remember when I was growing up ,and the King Dongs,tasted much better back than, compared to now a days. They are not as,good as they used to be,back in the day. This, also goes for the Hostess Baked Goods. And, besides King Dongs,are cake, not cookies.

[@angiefisher2780]

You need to do more research. Some of these cookies are in stores in 2024!

[@jons.6216]

Anyone that can find a vintage Mirro Cookie Press in a thrift or antiques store nowadays that includes their recipe booklets can have great spritz! My mom made them every Christmas in pink and green holiday shapes. You could also decorate them with silver dragees back then before the ban of those! The thing was, once those are baked they are no longer hard and "tooth cracking"! She also always had to make Russian tea cakes because one of my brothers (only) liked them! As a kid I thought they were boring, but I once had some in a dessert shop with actual tea and I got why that combo works! There was also this recipe a neighbor gave her for cheesecake bars - that started with a pressed yellow cake base and a rich, baked cream cheese layer!

[@amethystanne4586]

The cookies made from the cookie press recipe book are so good.

[@kathleenszymanski199]

The iced animal cookies you can find at various 7/11s in the cookie section. However, it depends on if the manager chooses to stock them as part of their particular store. 7/11 now has a stricter policies where they only stock up on things that are in demand.

[@tpurdy1956]

It is Magic MIDDLES!

Hostess quit making them when they closed down. Now Little Debbies make them.

[@Standinthegap4ever]

Ding gongs we’re not cookies, they did not have any cookies in them. At least, not when I was growing up. They were more like hostess cupcakes only a smaller profile & entirely enrobed in chocolate. Iced animal cookies are still around. Usually enrobed in pink or white “frosting” but they come out with seasonal ones. Red, green & white for Christmas. Red, white & blue for the Fourth of July. The wafer cookies are still available. They come in vanilla, strawberry & chocolate. Mexican wedding cookies are also called Russian tea cookies. Several countries have a variation on these.

[@sushilover40]

Keebler Magic middles!

[@TheBatcap]

Flaky Flix is a cookie that’s not around that I loved

[@1whitkat]

Hydrox cookies were infinitely better than oreos. My Gram always had those or chocolate wafers in her cookie jar no matter what time of year it was. My S.I.L and I still get together every winter to bake piles of cookies. Among them are lemon coolers, spritz with almond paste, not extract, and wedding cookies. Although we always called them tea cakes. We also make peanut butter thumbprints with with chocolate in the middle. Lastly, you have to have oatmeal with butterscotch chips.

[@alvexok5523]

I've heard too thst hydrox cookies were better than oreos. But I think that hydrox went out of business because oreos were more popular and had been around longer, and they're both so similar. I read once that oreos had been around since like 1905

[@richardnewman862]

Sunshine Hydrox were 1 million times better then Orioles. snackwell's devil's food cookies were my favorites

[@kimberlycooper4170]

The reason that those cookies disappeared from my pantry is that, after decades of obesity and uncontrollable hunger, I learned that I, genetically, can handle only a very low-carbohydrate eating style. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Also, I can't eat the seed oils (corn, vegetable, canola, etc.). And I can't trust publicly-traded carbohydrate corporations to be honest on the package.

[@bruceyanoshek626]

Sugar-free frosting on iced oatmeal cookies????????? What do you think the frosting is made from?

[@dawnelder9046]

No one would put chips in a spritz cookie dough. They would not get threw the cookie press. I make a low carb, gluten free version every Christmas. The texture has to be perfect to work. If it is cooked in a pan and cut, it is a square, not a cookie.

[@genevabrantner365]

I don't think whoever came up with this story does much shopping. You can still buy these, or make them at home.
