Kelloggs changed the recipe on the old Mother’s cookies and are advertising them as “same great recipe” - not true!!! This was my favorite childhood cookie. Very disappointed in the company.

And now it's 3 years ago - cheap-ass Kelloggs sold off the Mother's plant, and chinced out on restarting the line the cheap-ass profiteers. It wouldn't surprise if they took the crisp out cornflakes to save a penny.

I'm devastated. I moved and thought my new King Soopers just wasn't carrying these.

I miss them so much! Ugh!!

I used to love Mother's Taffy cookies they were always my family's favorite go to cookies. We haven't had them in quite some time and I was very disappointed when I purchased them this time and now it is almost a cookie that you have to choke down! This is nothing like the original mother's Taffy cookie it tastes nothing like it and I will not be a customer any longer u less they change them back to their original recipe

https://www.recipelink.com/msgbrd/board_31/2011/MAY/53984.html MOTHER'S TAFFY SANDWICH COOKIES Copycat recipe •3/4 cup flaked coconut, (measure before toasting & grinding) •2 cups flour •1 tsp baking soda •1/2 tsp salt •1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened •3/4 cup granulated sugar •3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed •1 tsp vanilla extract •2 eggs •Cream filling (recipe below) Spread flaked coconut on a cookie sheet and toast under a broiler until golden brown . Grind toasted coconut to a cornmeal like consistency in a food processor.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Stir in ground toasted coconut. Mix well. In another bowl beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract with a mixer until creamy.

Add eggs, one at a time and beat well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Mix until smooth. Divide dough in half.

Shape each half into a disc 1/2 inch thick. Wrap each disc of dough in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. When dough is chilled, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Roll out dough on floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Sprinkle flour over dough if needed to prevent sticking. Cut out cookies with a 1 x 1 1/2-inch rectangular shaped cookie cutter. Place cookies onto cookie sheets.

Drag a fork along the length of each cookie to form grooves and roughen the top surface. Bake at 375 degrees F for 9 to 11 minutes, until cookies are slightly golden brown. Place baked cookies on wire rack to cool. When cooled, spread cream filling (recipe below) on smooth side of one cookie and press smooth side of another cookie on top to form a cookie sandwich.

CREAM FILLING 2 cups confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup chilled Whipped honey (also known as spun honey) 4 tsp hot water 1 tsp vanilla extract Using a fork, stir together until blended, confectioners' sugar, chilled Whipped honey, water and vanilla; filling will be sticky.

If needed, stir in more confectioners' sugar to make the filling easier to work with. Makes about 2 dozen sandwich cookies.

LOVED the old taffy cookies. The new ones are texture less, bland and boring.

I am SOOO DISAPPOINTED! Will be returning ASAP

Guest

It had been a while since I had taffy cookies and asked my husband to grab some on the way home. These are NOT taffy cookies!

They don't feel the same in my mouth. They don't taste the same and I'm SO DISAPPOINTED! It's a failed experiment and they need to go back to the original.

If they don't, I'm done and won't buy them again. It's sad my favorite cookie is no longer available.

Guest

Yes they dont taste the same and dont even look as good!

Guest

I agree. I just had a craving for them and realized how pissed I am about them changing the recipe. I tried them, twice, but they're not the same.

Guest

So disappointed. I hadnt had a taffy cookie from mother's in awhile.

They are completely different .

Whyyy|? Why change a good thing to something I'll never buy again.

Is that ^^^ For Real? I wouldn't buy them for $1.25 off or even if they gave them away.

This is so like Kellogg's to just insist that their product is "Good" Taste like Dusty Sugar and some kind of loose crackers that don't soak up milk.

The bad for Kellogg's is that Im not Buying these for my kids or grandkids (4 children and 12 Grandchildren). And Guess What they will Never know these cookies unless they buy them on sale (BTW a lot of stores do have them on sale--Um I wonder why) in that case I'm sure they would tell Kellogg's to keep Those cookies, (nobody i know likes them, they are gross).

Why is it so difficult for Kellog's to simply return to the Mother's Taffy recipe used for 40+ years?!! What are they hard at work on?

Why do they need a 'team'? You're baking cookies, Kellog's , not splitting the atom - Change 'em back!

Guest

They ruined my favorite cookie. They taste similar but not the same.

The texture of the original was my favorite part. Especially with milk.

The new ones don't soak up milk like the original and fall apart right out of the package. Hopefully someone with some pull at the Kellog's company reads these and changes them back.
