Mother's Cookies is known for its pink and white frosted, sprinkled cookies in nearly a dozen shapes like elephants, hippos, camels, dragons, mermaids and unicorns.

Mother's Cookies' story began in 1914 at a newspaper stand in Oakland, California. N.M. Wheatley, a newspaper vendor, purchased the rights of some home-baked cookies from a customer. Wheatley named the cookies "Mother's" in honor of the brand new holiday, Mother's Day. Within a year, he sold the newspaper stand and began baking 2,000 cookies a day.

Mother's Cookies are sold all over the world and are now owned by Italian conglomerate Ferrero Group, the creators of Nutella.

Go: ShopRite of Old Bridge at 600 Schulmeister Road, Old Bridge; Sunday, July 21 noon to 4 p.m.; motherscookies.com/stopandtastethefrosting.
