The maker of Archway and Salerno cookies -- including the Salerno butter cookie that was a fixture in Chicagoland for years -- has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week in the wake of rising food and fuel costs and plans to end its U.S. operations.

Archway & Mother's Cookie Co. Inc. on Monday announced the filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware for its Mother's Cake & Cookie Co. and Archway Cookies LLC subsidiaries.

That's a big company. If it's something we have here it has to be either big or local.

Maybe they can pull out of it.

As kids, we use to love the Salerno butter cookies. We would put our finger through the hole and eat it off our hand. They were really good! We don't have them out here.

I was just reading about Mother's at Slashfood and I'm going to miss their animal cookies. I've always liked the iced ones.
