Not too long ago, we discussed the demise of Mother's Cookies.

I don't know if Mother's and Archway are connected, but at the store today
there was a shelf tag in front of the dozen or so packages of Mother's
fudge sandwich cookies, that said both Mother's and Archway had stopped
making cookies. (The sign also said that those sources also made store
brand cookies for the chain, and said that they were looking around for
new sources for those.)

I posted a story yesterday that Kellogg is buying Mother's recipes.

I saw that, and that we don't really know what that's going to mean at
the consumer end of things. I hope for the best. Of course, my post,
above, was meant to add Archway to the list of cookie makers down.

My bad. I didn't even connect with the fact that Archway is shutting
down too. I don't really eat those either but I remember liking their
hermits.

I just did a bit of googling and I guess they are connected:
http://www.archwaymothers.com/website/main.html

and I also saw this:

so, I guess maybe not all hope is lost for cookie lovers.

I tried to help by putting it in the Subject header with "Mother's".

I can't actually name distinctively Archway cookie, but I'd say they've
been making cookies as long as I can remember. And I'm a boomer-geezer.

Regular oatmeal cookies require some peanut butter spread on them.
