these were delicious. yeah, with the real "country style" bag/package

They also contained three times the amount of shortening of normal cookies, which is why they were always so soft. If you noticed, they never got hard, even if you left them out on the counter top. But ray s is right, they were good!

I remember "almost home" cookies being around when I was a kid! I was a CRACKHEAD over the oatmeal-raisin flavor....And for those who know me, I almost never like oatmeal-raisin cookies. What was also memorable was the old-fashioned embroidery-style designed package. Made it look like some sort of heirloom. Nothing else like it....I wonder why they're not made anymore.

Lydia, you are not he only one who fiended over the Oatmeal Raisin ones...perfect taste, texture everything...All I remember is unfolding the tabs on either side opening up the old school bag and making sure I grabbed enough before my brother got a hold of em.

God! I haven't thought about those cookies in years! I remember, along with the Dunkin Hines "Soft Bakes", when Almost Homes were the only mass-produced soft cookies on the market. It was one of my first lessons in "things I liked being discontinued".

By far the best were the peanut butter flavored variety. I also remember the sugar cookies. I wish they'd bring them back but as Patrick from Ma. said about things I liked being discontinued.
