Description
Sunshine Hydrox cookies may have predated the 70's but I remember preferring them over Oreos as a kid in the 70s - when the ingredients list contained LARD. They were MUCH better than today's Hydrox which probably only contain palm and/or coconut oil. The LARD produced flavor and a firmer center.

I'm glad you remember the lard content too. No one believes me now when I tell them that these cookies used to have whipped beef fat in them. Gross! But they tasted better back in the day.

I too loved these cookies I hadn't seen them in a while and Food Network had program on saying they were no longer made (I can't verify that) they said they were out before Oreo's but Oreo squeezed them out.

And the cookie part had a better taste and texture than oreos. In Michigan,(I think they were made in Saginaw) we had no use for oreos.
