Artificially flavored. Sugar crystals add the sparkle to our heavenly butterscotch stars - a crunchy, rich tasting traditional favorite. Maurice Lenell grew up working at a small Swedish bakery on the northwest side of Chicago. In 1937, when he struck out on his own, Maurice used this hands-on baking knowledge and many of the family recipes to produce his own cookie jar favorites. Maurice Lenell signature cookies soon became a Chicago institution. Today Maurice Lenell cookies still blend original recipes, premium-quality ingredients, and old fashioned tender loving care. Try one and taste how much we care!
