Oh, my gosh, these cookies were my childhood, for sure. What company manufactured them? Where can we find some? We gotta find them.

they were made by (FFV) Famous foods of Virginia ?are tjey still in business. They were wrapped in foil-also made orange thins with browned edge.Had these in the 50's mail me info ddwhitcraft@cox.net

I LOVED Lemon Thin Cookies. I was just discussing them with a coworker about how I craved them when I was pregnant in 1990 and couldn't find them anywhere, and I lived in Richmond at the time. Hello, that's where FFV is; and I believe they're still in business. I'll have to look them up and give them a call.

My husband and I have been looking everywhere for these too! We grew up in the Carolina's and now live in Fl. My dad always bought these when he was going to be churning home made ice cream. I would love to find them or even a recipe. Please, please let me know if any of you find them. Thanks!

I agree - these cookies are cravable! I've been on a quest to find another "perfect" lemon cookie like the Lemon Thins and have not succeeded - I even got co-workers looking for me. I never forgot the Lemon Thins - someone bring them back! Well, while in Italy a couple weeks ago, I found a cookie that looked very similar and had the same texture - delicious vanilla wafer flavor: Mini Voglie - Lingue di gatto made by Vicenzi ... google it. Hope to find in an Italian market here!

oh my gosh and i thought i was the only one who remembered and yes still crave these cookies. i have been looking for even a recipe for something even close to these little cookies. if anyone can find these lemon thins, please let me know. thank you, dottie

Nabisco use to make them. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. I can't imagine why they quit making them. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but I could sit and eat a whole box of these in one sitting.

I also grew up with these in Texas and still crave them. Have found same cookies in orange, and I think vanilla or almond. But where are the lemon ones? I will try the recipe above and possibly use Meyer lemons! Thanks -

Every time I go to the grocery store I look for lemon thins....I think I need serious cookie therapy because I still crave them as well....I would give up my girlfriend if I could find them.

My story is earlier but much the same as other posters. My Carolina family didn't buy lemon thins, but as a child in the 50s & 60s I'd occasionally find myself at parties where lemon thins were served. They struck me as exquisite, a token of a finer life. As a grown-up in the 80s I realized I could buy them for myself, but then alas moved to Texas where no one seems to have heard of them (despite one Texas poster's memory). Yes to Nabisco as their national marketer. Great with tea.

i am currently eating the most delicious paper thin lemon cookie from trader joe's. they are SO GOOD i had to google to see if other people were as obsessed as i am. maybe y'all could try these out?
