I always looked at Archway cookies as the last resort of the last resort. As in, I had to buy cookies because I didn't have time to make them, and every other kind was sold out. I agree with firecommander3565...they taste like they were made 20 years ago, and left out to get as hard as possible in the mean time.

However, I am saddened by still more loss of American jobs.

I agree, Archway/Mothers were not the best cookies...Of course Oreos took the top spot for grocery store cookies. But those Holiday Nougat and Animal Circus Cookies always seemed to have a place in my home growing up and it's a shame that they are gone along with all the jobs that made it happen...

A source most people wouild not think of checking out.

Both Archway and Mother's brands are to be resurrected by new owners after a sale through bankruptcy proceedings.
Lance, Inc. bought Archway:

A nearby supermarket was selling the same one flavor left for $3.49 for a one pound package.

I like the date filled oatmeal, some of the holiday cookies and the oatmeal ones. My father was allergic to chocolate, so he always had a few Archway cookies around to appease his sweet tooth. He liked them since they were tasty, soft. and did not contain chocolate or coccoa I look somewhat like my father, and have a sweet tooth like him and also love Archway cookies.
