Spaans Cookie Company

If it's good enough for Grandma,
it's good enough for me.
Spaans Cookie Company
333 4th Street
Galt, CA

Back in the 80s, my Grandma would trek "all the way" to Galt and bring packages of Spaans cookies back to Stockton.  I vividly remember soft, brownie-like mounds of chocolate and thick, buttery crescents studded with almonds.

Luckily, Spaans is still in business and they're still turning out those Fudge Brownie cookies (by the bucket now, hooray!) along with two dozen other varieties.  Among the various samples I managed to shove down my throat when I thought the cashier wasn't looking were the soft, delicate Gingerbread.  Holy moly - I wish I never knew they were only half a gram of fat and 40 calories each.

I'm in trouble.
