Mother's Cookies
The Origin Story
Long ago in Cookie Land, life was predictable: camels with camels, unicorns with unicorns, and T-rexes with T-rexes. Same old, same old.
Then—BOOM! A frosting volcano erupted, showering sprinkles and sweet frosting across the land. By morning, every creature was coated in sweet, sprinkled goodness.
“This is wild—and yummy!” they giggled, licking frosted paws. Camels danced with unicorns, elephants romped with T-rexes, and all became fast friends.
From that day, Cookie Land buzzed with fun and flavor. Kids and parents have munched on Mother’s Cookies ever since, savoring the sweet friendships in every sprinkle-topped treat!
Meet The Sweet Creatures
Who We Are
It all started in 1914 at a newspaper stand in Oakland, California. N.M. Wheatley, a newspaper vendor, discovered and purchased the recipe of an irresistibly delicious home-baked cookie from a customer. Inspired by the newly created holiday Mother’s Day, he named them Mother’s Cookies. Within a year, he sold the newspaper stand and began baking two thousand cookies a day in a small bakeshop. Soon the beloved Mother’s Cookies were born.
What started as a small bakeshop now has become an American favorite. Today, Mother’s Original Circus Animal Cookies—with its iconic pink and white frosting dotted with rainbow sprinkled joy—continue to bring smiles and spark imagination for cookie lovers of all ages.
Today, Mother’s Circus Animal Cookies are enjoyed by playful, imaginative children all over the world.
