I have found the most wonderful cookie! Nabisco makes this delicious little gem and you can only buy them from October thru April or so.
Since 1913 Mallomars have been a hit with the public when they appeared in a small grocery store in Hoboken N.J. for the first time. From then on the popularity grew, until they became the number one cookie sold in New York City...To this day they are still leading the pack with the most sales to all its fans...more then 70% of all sales are made in New York.
According to the box's nutritional facts and using my advance mathematics, since it doesn't say 2 cookies, but just that there are 9 servings, I figured out that since there are 18 cookies in a box and that there are 2 cookies in a serving, they weigh in at only 110 calories a serving, 5 grams of fat and 12 grams of sugar….no trans fats or cholesterol...Therefore, Mallomars are not really too bad on weight meter scale, as long as you don't sit down and eat a whole box!
The cookies have become somewhat of an icon in the entertainment industry: featured in the movie "When Harry Met Sally" and played an important scene in The Sopranos when Tony Soprano accused his friend Paulie of taking his box of Mallomars…they've were mentioned often on the Seinfeld show, the Simpsons and Rosanne, even the Golden Girls were into Mallomars....and, not too long ago, Stephen Colbert, caused a stir when he compared Washington D.C. and it's racial/cultural makeup to a Mallomar during the Correspondents dinner when he appeared last year. All this over a cookie!
If you haven 't tried them......please - you must! I have a secret....put them in the microwave for just about 4 seconds........OMG! Please excuse me while I go get another two!!
