Chips just don’t cut in my book (unless we’re talking about the potato kind and then they DEFINITELY do!) And its SO much nicer to bite into a cookie with big chunks of melty chocolate. I know they’re easier, but honestly the quality just isn’t the same. Also, pleaseeee avoid packs of chocolate chips or chunks.But I think there are some delicious bars out there – my favourites are Menier and Dr Oetker which can be found in most supermarkets. White chocolate gets a bad rep for being overly sweet. Cashews are quite a soft nut so you’re not getting a crunchy texture to the cookie but you are getting a savoury slightly salty element that works really well with the sweet creamy white chocolate. The final elements, white chocolate and cashew nuts, are added in abundance. Then we have a half a teaspoon of vanilla – this adds some depth to the cookie that otherwise might end up being far too sweet with the white chocolate. The addition of brown sugar gives a delicious caramel flavour and keeps the cookie moist.
Cashew cookies friehoffer full#
I’m sure they are delicious but they’re not really for me – or at least not at the moment, never say never eh! My favourite style of cookie is more chewy than cakey and packed full of chocolate and nuts.įirst up these cookies are made with 50:50 caster sugar and light brown sugar. The trend at the moment in the baking world seems to be to create these HUGE chunky ‘NYC style’ cookies. There is nothing raw or ‘healthy’ about these cookies. Whenever I think of cashew cookies, straight away I think of the Nakd bars. Under the name Bimbo Bakeries USA on a silo at the plant, the Freihofer’s logo is still displayed.įor those needing a chocolate chip cookie fix, the cookies can be seen on the Freihofer’s Facebook page.Cashews might not be your first thought when it comes to a nutty cookie, but I loveee cashews so I’m keen to try it in most things. The company’s cake bakery on North Manning Boulevard in West Albany still produces baked goods with the aroma hanging over the neighborhood. For adults who grew up in the 1950s, the "Freddie Freihofer Show" on WRGB is a fond memory of childhood.įreihofer’s cultural status was enshrined by the Albany Institute of History and Art’s “The Capital Region in 50 Objects.” That's survived even as Freihofer's was bought in 1987 by General Foods and eventually by its current owner, Bimbo Bakeries USA. “While there have been some interruptions with Freihofer’s, we aren’t experiencing any out of stocks at the moment,” said Erica Komoroske, director of public affairs for the 348-store Stewart’s chain.įreihofer’s has been a cornerstone of Capital Region foodstuffs since 1913 when Charles Freihofer opened a bakery in the Lansingburgh neighborhood in Troy. There’s more tolerance,” Dodge said about customers’ response.Īt Stewart’s stores, the Freihofer’s chocolate chip cookies weren’t around, but Stewart’s brand cookies were for sale. “As you know, there’s been a lot of ups and downs in the supply. Dodge said a check with the chain’s cookie manager said the supermarket chain had been told there were issues with the packaging of the chocolate chip cookies. Hannaford sells the cookies at its 51 stores in New York state and Vermont, said Ericka Dodge, external communications manager for the supermarket chain.ĭodge said Hannaford has not had any customer complaints about the lack of the cookies. The same was true down the street at the Hannaford Supermarket at 592 Columbia Turnpike where employees looked, then consulted until one of them replied that they’re not available. No immediate ties to the Capital Region's traditional culinary identity. At the Market 32 at 501 Columbia Turnpike in East Greenbush store employees led a shopper to the display where the renowned cookies usually are displayed only to show a hole where they normally would be.
“I can’t find them,” said one woman at the outlet at 40 Fuller Road.Įmployees at the stores where the cookies usually are for sale said the snack is just not available. We expect to have the product back on shelves by mid-November,” the statement continued.
“This directly affected the production and distribution of several of Bimbo Bakeries USA’s products across the U.S. “In early September, Hurricane Ida’s high winds and floods caused serious damage to the facilities and existing inventory of our main packaging suppliers,” representatives of Bimbo Bakeries USA said Tuesday.
