Nabisco Brown edge Wafers

[chazzerking]

Has anyone seen these in the last couple of years? I used to use them as a pantry staple, to serve with coffee or ice cream or to slather with whipped cream and chill to make a mille feuille cake. but haven't seen them anywhere. I'm not sure whether they have gone the way of the dodo or just aren't being distributed near me.

you can find just the box on auction. that's some brown edge wafer love!

I have been looking for them for years. One day I was feeling nostalgic and decided to go to the store to get them and couldn't find them. I thought it was that the store I went to didn't sell them, but I can't find them anywhere.

I used to love these as a child. They remind me so much of my grandmother.

They were discontinued *years* ago. (1996, to be precise.) Others here have similar desires to see them return:

I made these this winter after I got a craving for the brown-edged wafers my grandmother used to have around the house:

If you are talking about the Nilla Wafers, they still have them in stores where I live (NW Suburbs of Chicago).

OH! I loved them so! I would trade off several of the sickeningly sweet cream-filled cookies for the brown-edged wafers to be back on the shelf. Another (?) childhood favorite was a thin lemon brown edged cookie. I don't know if it was also Nabisco. . .perhaps Sunshine ? FFV? I just loved them alike, gently nibbling just the edge around before moving toward the cookie middle. Can we hear from Nabisco?

By the way, I deal with folks from many countries and they say they don't like American cookies - too sweet!!

Were these the ones that were lemon or orange flavor? Or am I thinking of a different brand/cookie?

[Axalady]

These were my Mom's absolute favorite cookie and were a staple in our house when I was a kid. I remember her disappointment when Nabisco stopped selling them, and it was quite a while ago. You have given me a great idea. Her birthday is coming up and I found a recipe for them I may try. She'd probably get a kick out of it!

these are just plain very crisp butter cookies that tastes great and very versatile.

I don't know the original product but could something from Jules Destropper substitute?

Maybe the ones I'm thinking of from my 'boyhood' in New York were made by "Arnold's"...very flat and crisp with a brown halo around a yellow (lemon) or orange cookie..I liked these very much....I'm still bemoaning the loss of Pepperidge Farm Brownie Cookies.. especially when the were used in their sandwich cookie!

OMG I had *forgotten* those Brownie Cookies! They were the best, and quite a nice crumble over ice cream. :P
