The Sunshine Golden Raisin Biscuit, a nostalgic, flat, rectangular cookie with a raisin paste filling, was discontinued in the mid-1990s (around 1996) when Keebler acquired Sunshine Biscuits. It featured a golden, toasty color, dark raisins, and a less-sweet profile compared to modern treats, sold in perforated strips. While not identical, some recipes (like King Arthur Baking's) mimic this classic, often compared to the British Garibaldi biscuit.

Product Description:

Appearance: Flat, oblong, golden-brown biscuits, often sold in perforated strips you'd break apart.

Texture: A less-sweet, chewy, toasty cookie with raisin paste filling.

Flavor: A distinct, vaguely sweet taste with raisins.

Discontinuation:

Acquisition: Keebler bought Sunshine Biscuits in 1996.

Removal: Keebler dropped the Golden Raisin Biscuit from its lineup shortly after, around 1996-2001.

Reason: The decision was likely business-related, possibly not fitting with sweeter trends or production shifts.
