But sometimes he would bring in a package of Hydrox cookies, and you could definitely taste the difference between those and the store brand cookies. So good.

Growing up in Chicago, I remember Salerno Cookies and Maurice Lenell Cookies. Salerno had a number of varieties, but the three that stand out were the butter cookie, coconut cookie and Jingles. The Jingles cookies were only available around Christmas. They were anise flavored with red and green sugar sprinkles, and were shaped liked bells, stockings and stars. Maurice Lenell also had a variety of cookies, but the one I remember was the pinwheel cookie. Sadly, they are no longer available and that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Also grew up in Chgo. Maurice Lenell had a factory on Harlem Ave. You could buy broken cookies cheap there. My favorites were the Butterscotch♥️and yes the Pinwheels.

My Dad worked for Nabisco when I was a kid and there was quite a few items that no longer exists that I really miss. The Almost Home line of cookies, Ideal bars, Toastetts, Mystic Mint, Apple Newtons, and their Marshmallow sandwich cookies. 🤔

@@RhettyforHistory Yeah there was a cookie Nabisco came out with in the early 80s called Gaiety Fudge it was similar to the Fudge Town cookies they never really had success and was pulled off the market. And I actually liked them and thought they were pretty good.

I'm one of those that used the chocolate wafers, but for a chocolate chip cheesecake base!

Keebler's Opera Cremes. Chocolate and Vanilla wafers with 4 or 6 holes in the top, sandwiched with a lemony cream frosting. Gone forever. When Oreo introduced their Lemon line, I managed to make my own version - twist a chocolate Oreo apart, scrape off the white cream, open a lemon Oreo, and put a chocolate wafer on top. No creme came out the little holes, and the lemon wafer is a bit more tart than the Opera Creme, but in a pinch they calmed down the kid in me. And don't get me started on the Dolly Madison raspberry jelly roll cakes of the 1960s-1980s...

This may be more local, but I miss Maurice Lenell cookies from the Chicago area. They made a lot of different type of cookies and all were of high quality. I don't know what happened to them. On the Nabisco front I don't recall seeing the Famous Cookie Assortment anymore. That was a nice box with a variety of many of their brands we could sample.

They went out of business about 5 years ago. I agree it's a shame. No one does pinwheel cookies like Maurice Lennel! I used to live by the factory in Niles. They had an outlet store which had all their products for sale.

Does anyone remember these kinda generic brand shortbread/sugar cookies that looked like big flowers, like the kind little kids learned to draw (except the circular middle was missing)? The cookies also had sugar sprinkled on the top of each cookie. FYI: The package was clear except for the name, which could've been a store brand, but I vaguely remember them being available in different stores. I could be mistaken. The brand also made chocolate chip and oatmeal flavored ones in different shapes, but the shortbread/sugar cookies were my favorite. I live in California, so I don't know if they were nationwide. I've been looking for them everywhere off and on for a couple years and just can't remember what the brand was
