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.

These cookies were so soft that one time I sat on the whole package and none of them crubled...they just smushed.

These cookies were the greatest, I loved the chocolate chips-I really wish they would bring them back for a limited time.

these were the best cookies,i wish they would make a comeback, my favorite was the peanut butter with the chocolate in the middle

L Loved These Cookies!

To this day, I've held every oatmeal-raisin cookie to the standard of Almost Home. Every time we'd go to the store when I was a kid, we'd have to get those cookies cuz my brother and I were fiends for them! Now I'm hungry!

My father would only eat junk food. This is one of the things I remember him devouring. Ironically the man is 6'2 and couldnt weigh more than 160.

I got in trouble because of them. When they first came out they a 4-pack of chocolate chip cookies in the mail as a sample to get you to try them. I was about 12 or 13 and got home from school befor emy sister and my parents. When I got the mail I opened them and they tasted fantastic. A couple of my friends also at the ones in their mailbox and liked them too. Well being 12 year old boys we got a great idea to go in other peoples mailboxes and steal their Almost Home Cookies. Little did we know that was a Federal offense. My dad got word of it and kicked my butt.

Why do they get rid of the good stuff. Those peanut butter with the chocolate on top were the best. This stuff today is junk. I gave up and don't buy any of them. I also miss the Keebler Classsic Fudge sandwich cookies. Those and the Almost Home were the best.I feel sorry for people growing up yoday that never tasted this stuff.

Kathy, I think the taste difference must have to do with the elimination of most if not all Trans and Saturated fats in these types of goodies nowadays, don't you?
