Cookie Crisp
Cookie Crisp is a breakfast cereal manufactured by General Mills in the United States and Cereal Partners Worldwide in other countries. It is known for its distinctive shape and flavor, which resembles small chocolate chip cookies. The cereal was first introduced in 1977 and has since become a popular choice among children and adults alike.
History[edit | edit source]
Cookie Crisp was originally created by Ralston Purina in 1977. The cereal was marketed as a way to enjoy the taste of cookies for breakfast. In 1997, General Mills acquired the Cookie Crisp brand and continued its production and marketing. The cereal has undergone several recipe changes and variations over the years, including the introduction of different flavors such as Double Chocolate Cookie Crisp and Sprinkles Cookie Crisp.

The primary ingredients in Cookie Crisp include whole grain corn, sugar, cornmeal, corn syrup, canola oil, and cocoa processed with alkali. The cereal is fortified with vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and various B vitamins.
Marketing and Mascots[edit | edit source]
Cookie Crisp has been marketed with various mascots over the years. The original mascot was a wizard named Cookie Jarvis. In the 1980s, the mascots were replaced by Cookie Crook and Officer Crumb, a duo consisting of a cookie thief and a police officer. In the 1990s, Chip the Dog was introduced as the new mascot, and he remains the face of the brand today.
