Description
They were a round-flower shape with a hole in the center and had the best taste. There are cheaper varieties out there, but they just aren't the same.

They used to be great - really buttery and soft> Now thry're akin to cheap soda crackers. Too bad!

I loved them cookies. I called the company and they told me that they were too costly to continue to make. They broke up a lot. My grandfather used to buy them for me every saturday.

The butter cookies and the chocolate snap cookies where the bomb they discontinued them both what a shame.

Thanks for jogging my memory. I *LOVED* these when I was a kid. You could stick your pinky finger through the hole and eat them petal by petal. My friend, brother, and I used to put on little puppet shows with Pelham marionettes when we were kids, and invite the neighborhood to watch and my Mom (she was a saint!) would not only put up with this, but she would serve all of us these cookies and apple juice. I think the kids must have come more for the food than for the plays. We wrote the scripts ourselves, and since the only marionettes we had were a Gypsy, a Soldier, a Pony, and a Duck the plots were surreal. Definitely more Ionesco than Shakespeare! Thanks again for letting us all know what happened to these great treats!

I just had a notion to look for these on the Internet for my sister and surprise her via mail. She used to LOVE these. I knew it was something since I could never find them here in Phoenix (I'm originally from Chicago). I really appreciate now knowing!!

I was just munching on some Danish butter cookies I got for Christmas and I thought of the Nabisco ones. Anyone else remember that they had "NBC" on them? I googled and found this page and was saddened, but not surprised, to learn they were discontinued. Hope this never happens to Oreos or Fig Newtons!

I remember these well. My mom used to buy them all the time. I believe they came in a green box that opened up kinda "briefcase-style".

I was looking for these cookies in the stores and of course now I know why they were not to be found! Yes to everything that has been said, especially dipping them in a glass of milk. Have not found a equal even in the expensive cookie section.

When I was a little girl I didn't like cookies, but I loved that Butter Cookie that looked like a sunflower. I wish they would bring it back.

I logged on looking for this cookie, though it has taken me a week to remember which cookie it was. I thought they were called butter rings, but I used to stick my finger through them too - fond memories. Anyway, I ate a cookie with a chocolate filling which tastes a lot like them (elfs make them, and you have to take the filling out!) These elf cookies are a bit larger than they used to be, and I believe they changed the recipe and flavor. For me, it is worth tossing the filling, as I would pay a premium to taste the butter rings again, and this is really close!

They were called Nabisco Circle cookies. They had circles with a circle in the middle. They weren't terrible sweet but sooooo good
