Cookie Time is an iconic New Zealand company based in Christchurch, which has been manufacturing snack foods since 1983. They are fronted by a mascot known as the Cookie Muncher

[edit] History

1983: The first batch of Original Chocolate Cookies leaves the kitchen of founder Michael Mayell's one bedroom flat, to be sold individually in Christchurch dairies, from large glass jars.
1996: The company breaks the Guinness World Record for the world's largest cookie, by baking a 487m² cookie in a field behind their factory.

[edit] Products

The company's first, and most recognisable product, is the Original Chocolate Chunk Cookie, an individually wrapped cookie with oversized chocolate pieces. The recipe for this cookie has remained unchanged since 1983, a sign of its success in the New Zealand market. Other versions of individually wrapped cookies have been released, such as Triple Chocolate, Apricot Chocolate, and Chocolate Chunk Afghan.

Other products include Christmas Cookies, Bumper Bars, OSM (One Square Meal), Ula Bars and Smart Cookies.
