Mother's Cookies is a food brand owned by Italian conglomerate Ferrero Group. Mother Cookies began as a bakery based in Oakland, California, that operated from 1914 to 2008.

They were slightly sweet biscuits shaped like animals. For a while they were imported to the United States, but in 1871 the D.F. Stauffer Biscuit Company in York, Pennsylvania, started producing them.

The now-iconic packaging of a box with a string was designed for the 1902 Christmas season. The innovative idea behind the change was to hang the package as a present on the tree.
