Have you tried the new "Nabisco Classics" cookies?
They have frosted animal cookies, iced oatmeal, most of my favorites. We bought a bag of frosted animals and a package of iced oatmeal.
The texture is not quite right-- moister, softer (which is not quite what I want in the iced animal, which are a little more graham-crackery because of the texture difference and also a wee bit of a "bran" taste to them like graham crackers have) but which I actually like in the iced oatmeals. But, the taste is almost right on the animal crackers-- and dead-on in the iced oatmeals.
So if, like me, you mourned the loss of Mother's, don't be too angry or scared to try them. They're pretty good.

I read this and had a vague memory of Mother's and wondered if by any chance they are the same as Archway. A Google search seems to indicate that they are.
Which does make me very, very sad. Archway molasses cookies are one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Does Nabisco Classics make a molasses cookie?

I didn't see them but then there wasn't a lot of variety in the store I was in and I wasn't looking very hard. I too love their molasses cookies, so I'm hoping to see them soon! (Possibly in a store with better cookie selection.)

Nope. Checked the Nabisco website. They have a spiced cinnamon cookie but I don't hold out hope for it being the same.
I think there's a molasses cookie recipe in my ancient Betty Crocker cookbook. I've probably even made them, but I don't remember what they tasted like.
Oh yeah . . . what was I just saying earlier today about losing weight?

I really love the recipe for molasses cookies in the old Joy of Cooking (not sure if it's the same in the new...)
