Description
They were chocolate cookies with a hole in the middle and sugar sprinkled on top. I can't find them anywhere. They were out when I was a kid then they were gone. They brought them back a few years ago and took them away again. They were my favorite cookies.

I also grew up with the great taste of Mama\'s Cookies. I guess I was luckier than most because the factory was just few miles from my home in Chicago.

Oh my GOSH, they were soooooo good. I wish they would come out in the stores again. They'd be a HUGE hit! (Especially for all of us baby boomers!!!!!)
One person told me they thought Voortman had the rights to make them.
Bring mamma cookies back. They were sooooo good.
I loved those cookies!! Just hearing about them makes me feel good. Pleeeeze bring them back!!
I loved the Macaroon ones. The Sugar ones were awesome! My kids teethed on these cookies. Please bring them back!
In the 70s-80s, I "put up" cookies and crackers at the then-existing Chatham Supermarkets in the metro Detroit area. Whether it was during open hours or on night crew, we sold at least a case/day. BRING THEM BACK! (My nostalgia for things genuinely good is lonely...) :o)
I'm glad I found this forum! I've been telling my children about Mamas cookies for 20 years. There is nothing like them. The Sugar ones were my favorites. Pecan was the bomb too!
Let's bring 'em back !!!!!!!

I remember when I was a kid, Everyday coming home from school I would stop at the corner store and buy a box of mama cookies the sugar ones was the best then the macaroons. A few years ago i found the at a local grocery store and now they are gone again.We want them back !!!
I heard that the ShurGood cookie company bought them out. They were a huge hit in Cincinnati! I miss them too.
My fondest memories of Mama's cookies are when I was growing up in Cincinnati. They would have them in nursery at church. I wish they would make them again!
need some 80's cookies....sweet!
Uncle Al advertised them on his show in Cincinnati!! Also....Barq's Red Cow, Orange Cow, Grape Cow, Black Cow.....Now we can hardly find the Red Creme Soda and Root Beer! But loved those Mama's Cookies....chocolate, dunked in milk...Mmmmmmmmmm GOOD!
The Oreo cookie 100 calorie pack "thin crisps" are the closest thing I've found to the chocolate Mama's cookies. I miss them!
I remember doing the twist on the stump at the Uncle Al show then going home and pounding the lemon ones!
I always pounded the Macroon ones!
Chocolate was the beast
I found Mama's Oyster Crackers at HometownFavorites.com and it has the same logo. Why can't they make the cookies??!!
They used to sell these at my campus cafeteria in the mid 80's. Two big-ass cookies for only 50 cents. And so much sugar! Gives me a head-rush just thinking about it.
I loved those cookies so much. We dipped them in milk and also in pear juice. They were a real family favorite here in Cincinnati.Bring them back!
I know where those are, you can find Mamas cookies in vending machines in Connecticut!
I loved mama's cookies. I've been looking for them for years. If anyone finds them please post it on the internet. I remember them from the Uncle Al Show in Cincinnati. My sister and I have both been trying to find them.
I remember Mama's cookies were advertised during the Uncle Al show too...Found the oyster crackers at Jungle Jims in Cincinnti...would love to try the cookies again!!
I have been looking for the white shortbread cookies with the red jam in the middle. They were Mama's cookies too, right? Are they out of business?
Who makes the oyster crackers? Maybe we can start a campaign to get them to make the cookies too???? I read that story that the Business Courier had - why didn't they keep making them??? Everyone I know who grew up here loves those cookies!
