I loved these cookies! Not many of my friends remember them but my Grandpa worked for Dolly Madison when I was a kid and he always brought me springwater chocolate chop cookies...maybe springwater was owned by Dolly Madison, I remember him having one og the big glass jars in his kitchen.

I rode my bike for 5 miles when I was a kid, to buy these cookies. I wrote them a letter and told them how much I loved them, and they sent me a dozen!!! Best few days of my life eating those!!!

I worked for Springwater Cookie for sixteen years. They were a famiy owned company located in Springboro Ohio and was bought by a conglomerate in Chicago that ran it into the ground, got what ever money they could and closed the company. The owners wouldnt give any severance pay to its workers. The old Springwater Cookie before this was a great place to work that baked a great product

This was the greatest cookie.I thought about them and decided to try to find them on the internet. I have found many great things here but no Springwater Cookies. These cookies and Masters Pizza were my heaven, especially during my pregnacy in 1979. When I move from Dayton back South Carolina; I had people send them to me. I really need some cookies. It's 2008 will someone please start back making cookies? Thanks.

I never had a Springwater cookie but I do have one of those Springwater cookie jars and mine has the lid, if anyone is interested. Leave message hear and email address and I will get back to you

Vicki - I would love to have a Springwater jar, and haven't been able to find one. I am very interested in yours if you don't want it anymore! How could I contact you? Looks like you can't leave links to emails in this area...

I have a large Springwater Cookie Jar and am looking for a lid. Can anybody help? I am in Butler TWP between Vandalia and Englewood. Contact me at tglan17320@aol.com

i worked for the company for 15 yrs and i also have a jar. tha family that owned it was the best people to work for, not only did they care about the employees but about what they baked and sold and there customers as well. the kantor family is very well known in the fundraising business.

Twas actually in the late 70's, 1978 to be exact, that I became a fan of the elusive Springwater Cookie. Yes, the jar lived at the counter of only select stores in our Dayton, Ohio neighborhood, so it was tthese stores we would sojourn. Alas when the jar was empty! And often it was. For they were fresh and picked from the jar by a pair of tongs and carefully, lovingly placed into a waxed paper sleeve. My favorite indulgence (well, almost) was to purchase two cookies (these things were 8-10 inches across, a half gallon of Borden's best ice cream and walk across the road to Burger Chef (also defunct. We (my girlfrined and I) sat at a back booth and made THE ice cream sandwich of all time. Oh, yeah, the best things in life....are gone.

My springwater cookie jar was broke a few years ago and it upset my mother greatly. If anyone has one to sell please email me at sheliiRN21@tampabay.rr.com. It would be a great surprise/

i have a tin that held chocolate pretzels called a 1988 olive can trade mark on lid, it has a sticker on the bottom with a springwater cookie co name and address,it has white geese around the sides and white geese with 2 houses behind them on lid with a white picket fence,antbody familiar with this or would like to have it can call me 717-465-0266

Does anyone know the true value of these cookie jars? I'd like to know if its a collectors item. I have one with lid in perfect condition and would like to know what it is worth. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a metal recipe box that held Fudge Nut Cookies from Bringwater Cookie Co. I was wondering how old that was.

I came on this site hoping to purchase a glass cookie jar for my niece. I have had mine for over 30 years and whine though she may, she can't have it! In 1977, I started working in a deli where the owner ran a food tab for his employees. The discounted food bill was taken directly out of your pay before he gave you the rest. The system was a help to college kids like me who worked part time until he started selling these cookies. One particular week I ate so many cookies, I owed him money- no lie! In the end it turned out ok because I married that boss and came to own the cookie jar.

I baked these cookies in Blue Ash Ohio in the early 80's. We used real butter, S & H brown sugar and pure vanilla. We cracked all of our eggs by hand. It was owned by the Kantor brothers and their wives ran a sweet shop up the street

Anyone happen to know the recipe for this cookie? As a kid my dad used to deliver eggs to a company that made them in Detroit. I have the jar as a memory but would like to savor the taste again.

My grand-parents owned a store & these cookies were sold on the counter. They were huge! I would try to eat only half & safe the rest. Sometimes it did not work! They were the absolute best, better than homeade. I would buy a barrel full if I could NOW!

I purchased one of these jars, with lid, in perfect condition, at an auction yesterday. Love it! The bidding, done by dealers, quickly zoomed to the $50 I paid. What do people use these jars for besides holding cookies?

I do beleive this company was only in the Dayton area as I see them from time to time but only locally.I do have one very near mint with lid minor lip flake.I could sell it for about $60+ shipping.Jerry

I absolutely loved these cookies as a kid! They were sold at a local (Cincinnati area) United Dairy Farmers store that's now gone, in those big, old-timey glass containers. I've seen those jars occasionly at flea markets/antique malls, but haven't noticed the prices they're asking. I remember them being printed with proudly-touted ingredients, such as 'pure creamory butter'. If I'm not mistaken, the cookies were later individually wrapped, before disappearing altogether. I've enjoyed many a fine home-baked cookie in my time, but I must confess I've never had any better than those offered by Springwater (and I can't say any other store-bought product stacks up that well against homemade either). These were perfectly balanced: buttery without being greasy, soft but not crumbly, just enough salt to bring out the flavor (too often an underused ingredient), the right amount of good-quality chocolate chips (too often an overused ingredient), and not overpoweringly sweet either. Someone, somewhere, must still have that recipe!

I am putting a jar and lid - no chips, cracks or cookies on eBay.

I ate those cookies everyday in high school, you are right those were the best cookies ever made, I used to put them in the freezer and eat them cold! Wow the memories

I just found a springwater cookie jar with the lid. mine is mint! I truly love it!!! The cookie recipe is embossed on the back
