They were never anything special. Fine for a mass marketed cookie, but that's it.
You never had them 20 years ago - they were so good. A hint of coconut, perfectly sweet, a good crumble (but not crispy) yet some still slightly melty chocolate chips for a boxed cookie.
The new ones taste like cardboard. They are awful.

He stopped making them. I think the company that bought the brand didn't buy the rights to the original recipe but I could be wrong. You can do a google search to get the full story. I know it was a big deal at the time.Anonymous wrote:I picked up a box yesterday, but haven't had them in a while. They used to be SO GOOD! Now they taste like generic store-brand chocolate chip cookies. Did my palate change, or did the cookie recipe? If the latter, where can I get the old-version Famous Amos cookies?
