Whats a beloved cookie that seems to have disappeared over the years?

Ding Dongs are cake, not cookies. And, they're still on the shelves at stores nation wide. Those were Magic Middles". That's a letter "L" in there. Giggles cookies we're a store bought brand and not made at home. Thumbprint cookies and wedding cookies are still made during the holidays and even some grocery store bakeries sell them. I'm sorry to sound so critical but good grief. So many videos from this channel give just inaccurate information. It's frustrating to those of us who grew up during the times you're talking about.

Ding Dongs are also injected with fillng. The jos louis cake in Canada is similar but composed of two small cake layers. Do to the redish color of the cake customers insist they are red velvet cake when they aren't because they're not made with buttermilk and vinegar. I confirmed that with the manufacturer of Jos Lois.

7 layer cookies are ahhhh !❤

Ding Dongs were not cookies, they were cream filled chocolate cakes. Magic bars are still around. Apricot preserves, & raspberry preserves Magic middles, not middies. I call them "the cookie of many names", as they were also Russian Teacakes, Swedish Teacakes, pecan snowballs, pecan butterballs etc.

Okay, sure, Mexican wedding cookies were coated in powdered sugar, but the cookie itself wasn't all that sweet.

I’ve made them often but leave out the nuts. I usually roll them in powdered sugar just a bit after they come out of the oven.

I still make magic cookie bars (hello dollys) every one loves them

I make spritz cookies and thumbprint cookies along with a shortbread variety of thumbprints.

Ding dongs don’t taste the same as I was a kid, they’re bad now

Also they're a cake not a cookie. Ding Dongs are also a single thick cake layer that have been injected with cream filling.

That's because they changed the original recipe in the 80s. They started using High fructose corn syrup and started adding preservatives to make them more shelf stable. Then when the new company took over they changed the recipe again.

Ding Dongs were cakes, not cookies!

I still make spritz, Mexican wedding cookie ( we call them pecan sandies), and peanut butter cookies.

Ding Dongs are not cookies

Where did you get the idea that Ding Dongs are no longer available? I bought some a month ago at my local Walmart. There's even a store brand version sold there. Same goes for the iced animal cookies. I buy them regularly because I was never allowed to have them as a child.

Mothers Iced Animal Cookies are still available! Dairy Queen has a Blizzard made with them! And Leaf DIDN'T discontinue Hydrox! I bought some a few months ago. I loved Lemon Coolers when i was little.I never thought they were for old people.Just that they were delicious

Keebler Fudge Sticks are still sold in stores where I live in TN. They are still around! Walmart and Krogers sell them!

Vienna Fingers are still around.

At one time or another I've eaten most of these cookies and still do especially Sugar Wafer Cookies and some of the others Thanks for the Memories.🍪🥛🥛🍪

Girl Scouts need to bring the Savanna Smiles back. Those were so good. I like them better than the Lemonades or Lemon Ups.

I still make every homemade cookie they showed.

Those lemon coolers were delicious. I still bake most of the cookies shown.

Sorry, but this channel info all round isn't the most accurate.

I can go to my local Walmart right now and get Ding Dongs, sugar wafers, iced oatmeal cookies, and Vienna Fingers.

I'm happy with chocolate chip cookies from my grocery stores bakery ! ❤

We still make a large amount of home made cookies, how wonderful they are!!!!!

Ding Dongs were never cookies. They were snack cakes.

I,remember when I was growing up ,and the King Dongs,tasted much better back than, compared to now a days. They are not as,good as they used to be,back in the day. This, also goes for the Hostess Baked Goods. And, besides King Dongs,are cake, not cookies.

I make 7-layer cookies at Christmas.

I loved lemon sunshine cookies ❤❤❤❤❤

Magic Middies? really? They were Magic MIDDLES. The magic was the fact that the middle of the cookie was stuffed - peanut butter and chocolate mostly. Also, Ding Dongs weren't cookies - they were cream-filled snack cakes. Oh well, both were still tasty and contributed to early onset diabetes no matter what you called them. I miss them.

I still make peanut butter cookies from scratch. Nothing in stores matches the taste!❤❤

I think these scripts are written with lots of factual errors to drive engagement . . I mean, rage posting is engagement, right? I mean COME ON, SuperBowls on Saturdays?

I literally make all these cookies today, except for the 7-layer magic bars (never really cared for them) and Ding Dongs. Make my own lemon coolers since they were one of my favorite cookies back when, and there was also an Archway iced molasses that went out of the marketplace that I make now. Stella Doro cookies are another one that left the stores. I think you can still get them online

Mexican wedding cookies are still around.

I have been making Spritz cookies since the early 70’s. People now think they are store bought since some have never seen them. Homemade cookies still are though the first choice when at potluck gatherings. I used to make batches during competitions that could last 12 hours and those I didn’t know would shyly ask for one. I made oatmeal chocolate chip but as bars rather than cookies. I have shared recipes with new neighbors who also introduced me to different types. Buckeye balls were given to me and seems to have been unpopular.

My dad still makes the Mexican wedding cookies during Christmas, but always calls them snowballs.

My students love those Angels Thumb Print cookies

Mothers iced animal cookies and Keebler fudge sticks are still available last I looked. Mothers has even added Mystical Creatures with sugar sprinkles instead of jimmies. We still make Spritz every Christmas as well as Mexican Wedding cookies. What I really miss are Flakey Flix. The company went out of business and sold the machine to Mother’s but they never made them. Wafer cookies are still available in various brands in vanilla, strawberry and chocolate in both sugar and sugar-free.

Hello Dollies? Named after the Broadway show! 😊

You can still buy Vienna finger cookies.

You need to do more research. Some of these cookies are in stores in 2024!

The cooky I miss is Sunshine brand Raisin Bars. I found a recipe online that is supposed to be similar, haven’t tried it yet though.

Hydrox cookies were infinitely better than oreos. My Gram always had those or chocolate wafers in her cookie jar no matter what time of year it was. My S.I.L and I still get together every winter to bake piles of cookies. Among them are lemon coolers, spritz with almond paste, not extract, and wedding cookies. Although we always called them tea cakes. We also make peanut butter thumbprints with with chocolate in the middle. Lastly, you have to have oatmeal with butterscotch chips.

Mom used to make magic bars for Christmas.

Iced Oatmeal cookies are still available in stores

The iced animal cookies you can find at various 7/11s in the cookie section. However, it depends on if the manager chooses to stock them as part of their particular store. 7/11 now has a stricter policies where they only stock up on things that are in demand.

Mmmm Hello Dollies. Gotta make those soon ❤

As a Canadian, every time we would travel to the U.S. on vacations, we would load up on Keeblers. We adored them. I can still "taste" them to this day. The peanut butter and chocolate covered waffers were my favorite.

We make spritz cookies.

Still make hello dolly’s except no butterscotch chips. Also make thumbprint cookies only I use peanut butter cookie dough so in the end you have a pb&j cookie.

Mexican Wedding cookies we used to call them Snowball cookies

There were Cherry coolers as well. They were delish. Lemon coolers were also very good. Light and refreshing.

I still make date balls at Christmas and you don't have to bake them!

This series makes me giggle. Most of the info is incorrect but the “English Tea Biscuit” origin story commentary is pure gold.

Chocolate wafer cookies are still sold in supermarkets

Store bought cookies are full of cheap fillers. Read your labels.

Hostess quit making them when they closed down. Now Little Debbies make them.

A+ video! LOVE IT! Awesome cookies!

I remember spreading out the cookie dough on a cookie sheet until it filled the sheet then baking it and cutting it like a brownie into servings.

Ding gongs we’re not cookies, they did not have any cookies in them. At least, not when I was growing up. They were more like hostess cupcakes only a smaller profile & entirely enrobed in chocolate. Iced animal cookies are still around. Usually enrobed in pink or white “frosting” but they come out with seasonal ones. Red, green & white for Christmas. Red, white & blue for the Fourth of July. The wafer cookies are still available. They come in vanilla, strawberry & chocolate. Mexican wedding cookies are also called Russian tea cookies. Several countries have a variation on these.

Magic Middles were the BEST!!

Hydrox came back. You can order online

Anyone that can find a vintage Mirro Cookie Press in a thrift or antiques store nowadays that includes their recipe booklets can have great spritz! My mom made them every Christmas in pink and green holiday shapes. You could also decorate them with silver dragees back then before the ban of those! The thing was, once those are baked they are no longer hard and "tooth cracking"! She also always had to make Russian tea cakes because one of my brothers (only) liked them! As a kid I thought they were boring, but I once had some in a dessert shop with actual tea and I got why that combo works! There was also this recipe a neighbor gave her for cheesecake bars - that started with a pressed yellow cake base and a rich, baked cream cheese layer!

The cookies made from the cookie press recipe book are so good.

The Girl Scout's lemon sandwich cookies were my favorite!

I love 7 layer cookie bars but o don’t remember magic middles cookies.

Heydays. I'm still trying to copy them. Date filled oatmeal cookies. Would like to copy that as well. Mystic mints. Basically a chocolate covered Oreo

We still make a large amount of home made cookies, how wonderful they are!!!!! But most of the store bought ones where something we don’t get as a kid? 😮

No one would put chips in a spritz cookie dough. They would not get threw the cookie press. I make a low carb, gluten free version every Christmas. The texture has to be perfect to work. If it is cooked in a pan and cut, it is a square, not a cookie.

People still make peanut butter cookies

What were those wonderful marshmallow-filled cookies with chocolate sprinkles on top?

Ding Dongs - are simply heaven. YODELS !! (Had a love/hate relationship with those pink coconut fuzzy balls) !!

Who remembers the cookies shaped like states of the US? I remember they came in a box.

Magic Middies?

They love when viewers leave a comment because they get more postings on u tube and are recommended to more people on the vlog. So our complaints are helping them make more money.

Cup custard cookies by sunshine Bakery on of the very best 🥰😘

Flaky Flix is a cookie that’s not around that I loved

Iced animal cookies are still available I buy the a lot

Sugar rush is a wife’s tale

I liked Snackwell cookie brand

Hydrox were the best!

Worry? Weight gain? Unhealthy? These cookies look so good, it might just eat them while getting up off the couch and go for a…WALK 😇

Can anyone help find the name and any company info on a short-lived mass market cookie that had ‘sparklers’ in the name? I only saw them on shelf for July 4 in the mid-80s probably. A round plain vanilla shortbread sandwich cookie, multi color sprinkles baked in, a swirl pattern on top with vanilla crème filling. Very crunchy and had a definite baking soda heavy taste probably to make them seem sparkling. Sooo tasty yet I feel like I imagined them existing bc no one remembers!

Ding dongs wrapped in plastic are just gross 🤢 now

MAGIC MIDDLES not magic middies!

Is it me or do they just blame chocolate chip cookies for half of these things going extinct

MAGIC MIDDLES NOT MIDDIES

Listen we now will put sugar in 20 ways lol

I gotta stop getting suckered in by these videos. This one lost me at Magic Middies. I hate when it's obviously being read by a robot. Last time you get a view from me.

Love the walk back in my history but your videos are very inaccurate. Why not just change your titles. Deceptive and silly.
