Mother's are back!

Ok, I did a side-by-side comparison of the animal cookies.

First off, the ingredient listing is different. If it's the same recipe, then why is the ingredient listing different? It seems the ingredients are the same, just in a different order which may mean different amounts of the ingredients, or not. The nutritional information is the same, so there can't be too much difference in amounts of fat or sugar.

As far as taste, at first bite I thought it was the same. But after a few I started to notice a suttle difference. The cookie was crispy, I had no issue with that. But there was a difference that seemed like the original was buttery or creamy. The new ones more dry and shortening- like. They contain Hydrogenated Palm oil so they may have changed the amount or even the supplier. It would make since they would change ingredients to the ones they already work with rather than those Mother's works with. It's also interesting that they contain Hydrogenated Palm oil because it was the second ingredient in the listing , but there was a "no trans fat" lable on the front which is missing from the new package, and it's been lowered in the new listing.

So, there is a difference, but to my taste it's small enough to be acceptible.
