Description
My mother used to love these. They were cookies shaped like a windmill, they were yellow and had some kind of sliced nuts in them. I thought they were okay. I have not seen them around in quite a while.

From time to time we would get a couple of these in our lunches. I never liked them when I was little, but now I love them. You can find them in the grocery store made by Voortman's or Archway.
In my opinion, it is hard to beat a windmill cookie. Peanut butter cookies come close, but my favorite will always be the windmill cookie. In Wisconsin, Rippin Good Cookies still manufactures them. I like the kind of spiced flavor. Windmill cookies go REALLY well with a mug of hot tea on a cold Wisconsin winter evening. I don't think that windmill cookies get the respect they deserve.
Windmill cookies are great! I haven't had them in ages. It's good to know that they still make them.
wow do they still make these? where I'm glad others remember them as well
I saw some Windmill cookies at Trader Joe's and got excited. However, they are almond flavored. The original cookies I remember (from the '60s and '70s) were hazelnut (I think - definitely not almond) and had sliced/slivered hazelnuts on top. Very disappointed!
Windmill cookies with almond slivers were so good. I think Archway still makes them but not sure. Hmm I'll have to look for those!
I'm now eating some Archway Windmill cookies, but I'm afraid they are not the ones of my childhood. these look correct, but they are too thick and not as delicate as I was expecting. They have almond bits in the cookie and not slivers on top. They taste ok, but I don't think these are the mreal McCoy.
ick!! these were the only cookies my grandmother would have. i guess you could consider it a relished memory of her house, even though they were awful!! LOL!!
Trader Joe's just came out with a pretty good copy.
