Many thanks to Matt’s grandparents and his sister-in-law Tara for sending me bags and bags of the cookies I cannot seem to find anywhere in a city of 5.8 million people. My tummy sure appreciates your very thoughtful and totally unexpected act of charity.
We didn’t know that all we had to do was complain and then "poof!" it would appear in the mail. If you guys aren’t busy, we would like you to send us a Cafe Rio and Panda Express franchise next.
I will try to keep the many bags of Mother’s iced animal cookies on the downlow because A) I’m not sharing with anyone but Matt, and B) if word spreads about these, UPS and the post office will not have the manpower to handle the surge in crosscountry carepackages. Although perhaps these pink and white sprinkled delights could be the key to boosting the struggling economy.
Matt is especially grateful because for a good long while, he won’t be dragged down the cookie aisle of every new potential cookie carrier I run across. Although he claims he appreciates my determination, he looks exhausted.
Stores visited to date: Giant, Superfresh, Shop Rite, Acme (3 locations, just to be sure), Genuardis, the Fresh Grocer, CVS, DollarTree, Walgreens, RiteAid, Wal-mart.
None of them carry Mothers, Just the elf-backed nasty knock-offs.
Hey, that reminds me I haven’t checked Kmart yet…
AGAIN, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

This Tara sounds like an amazingly fantastic person. (So do them Grandparents)
Just how many bags of cookies did you get?
I swear, those things were all I ate whenever I'd visit my grandparents when I was very young. In fact, I though the reason the were called Mother's Cookies was because you could only get them at my mother's mother's house. OK, it's dumb, but that's how I thought when I was five. Let us know when you run out and the next care package will be on us.
Leah, I wonder if you can call the Mother's company and find out their distribution and see where (or if) they are distributed on the East Coast.
Trust me, I've done that with some home favorites. And yes I drive 45 minutes to get my favorite Minnesota beer, but it is totally worth it.
