Anyone remember the Holiday Cookies from Sun Valley?

Sometime beginning in the 1980’s, some stores like Aldi’s, Schnuck’s, etc., sold a holiday cookie that was circular with scalloped edges, red and green granulated sugar, and a hole in the middle. They were much thicker and lighter than the "holiday cookies" that some stores sell now. They used to come in a round 1 lb tub with a window on the top, and a red lid that snapped down. The Aldi grocery stores sold lots of items from this Sun Valley Company. I haven’t seen these for years and would give almost anything to find them again. Can anyone give me some leads. I have people from one end of the country to the other looking. I live in Kansas City, and they have been seen within the last 5 years in Cincinnati also. Thanks for any help you can give.

Fav. holiday cookie and will they mold if shipped?

I want to send out holiday cookies but Im afraid they’ll mold and everyone I send them to will get a very green surprise when they open the box. I also cant decide what to send, I was thinking biscotti (because it cant really get stale) and spritz cookies (but they might be too fragile) help me decide, what kind would you like to get in the mail? Thanks!
