What is a Hippo Cookie?!

I talk about them a lot and I get a lot of questions as to what they are. Are they shaped like a hippo, do they just make you feel like a hippo, do they taste like a hippo? Well, today, that question is finally answered.

Hippo cookies are a family tradition. My family, especially during the summers, would spend a lot of time in Newport Beach. And with almost every trip we would take the ferry from Balboa over to Balboa Island, whether we take the car, our bikes, or just walk. And we would ALWAYS hit up Dad's for a hippo cookie. In my opinion, they are the best cookies in the world! They make my heart and my tummy so happy.

So, that is what a hippo cookie is. Everyone should at least try them :) And you may not share my opinion that they are the BEST cookies in the world, but...hello...isn't eating a pink or purple or yellow or green hippo fun in and of itself?!
