Sign of the Times: Sad day in cookie world.

This week, sadly, we learned that Mother's Cookies (along with Archway Cookies) had filed for bankruptcy and ceased operations. Tonight we picked up the last package of Mother's Chocolate Chip Cookies from our local Safeway shelf. Prominent in my diet growing up on the east coast was Archway's chewy Oatmeal Cookies (along with Dunkin' Munchkins and Friendly's Peppermint Stick Ice Cream). So, I can just imagine how those cookie-lovers, who grew up on the west coast, will feel when the last package of Mother's Cookies leaves their grocery store shelves.
