Thanks to a FDA report citing “violations” at the factory where Baltimore’s iconic Berger cookies are made, no one has been able to get their fudge-coated chewy cookie fix in Baltimore for several weeks now. (The city shut the factory down on January 31.) If you’re really desperate, though, we have one potential solution:
Some anonymous, enterprising individual has listed a brand-new pack of Berger cookies (expiration date March 15!) on eBay for a mere $25 (local pickup only). “REFRIGERATOR STORED LEFT OVER FROM OUR SUPER BOWL PARTY,” the listing notes. There have been no offers yet, but there are still 5 days left to put in a bid.
The current status of the cookie factory is up in the air, but the City Paper has a good run down on what might happen next. (And, yes, we still maintain that no one outside Baltimore should be allowed to eat Berger cookies.)
Eddie’s of Roland Park is selling a delicious clone of Berger’s Cookies, complete with thick chocolate icing. Really terrific
The license has been reinstated, according to the Baltimore Sun.
I found a package of Berger cookies in our pantry the other day. The surprise put everyone in a great mood, even if they each had only one cookie.
