Mother’s Sparkling Mythical Creatures Cookies

Mother’s Sparkling Mythical Creatures Cookies are not your average animal cracker. For starters, they’re shaped like mythical creatures – unicorns, pegasuses, mermaids, dragons and more. And they’re all coated in lavender- and cream-colored frosting and clear (sparkling) sprinkles.

Snackin’ Sister fell in love with the look of these from the very start, and Snackin’ Brother was also excited to give them a go. Snackin’ Mother fell for the “no high fructose corn syrup” and figured they couldn’t be terrible.

Opening the bag was a little disappointing. The cookie shapes are less defined than the picture on the bag shows, but they’re still fun. The cookies are sweet and delicious with a satisfying texture for the tongue and a slight stickiness on fingers.

From a nutritional point of view, these cookies fall short. The first ingredient is sugar, and just 10 cookies equals a serving size with 150 calories and one-third of a day’s supply of saturated fat (not to mention the 12g of added sugar). As a result, parents will likely want to pre-portion a snack- or dessert-sized amount for their kids.

Although the Snackin’ Kids loved their Mother’s Sparkling Mythical Creatures Cookies, they were disappointed to have so few. And, surprisingly, they only went back to these cookies a couple of times. Four months later, we have yet to finish them – and they’ve turned into one giant clump in the bag.

Mother’s Cookies also come in their original circus animal shape and sometimes in other seasonal fun shapes.
