Cookie Time[edit | edit source]

Cookie Time is a New Zealand-based food and beverage company known for its delicious cookies and biscuits. Founded in 1983 by Michael Mayell, the company has grown to become a popular brand in the country.

History[edit | edit source]

Cookie Time was established in 1983 by Michael Mayell, who started baking cookies in his mother's kitchen in Christchurch, New Zealand. Mayell's goal was to create a cookie that was not only delicious but also made with high-quality ingredients.

The company initially operated as a small-scale operation, with Mayell personally delivering his homemade cookies to local retailers. However, as demand for his cookies grew, Mayell decided to expand the business and opened a small factory in 1985.

Cookie Time offers a wide range of cookies, biscuits, and snacks to cater to different tastes and preferences. The company is best known for its original chocolate chip cookie, which remains a customer favorite. Other popular flavors include double chocolate, hokey pokey, and white chocolate macadamia.

In addition to their classic cookies, Cookie Time also produces a variety of biscuit-based snacks, such as cookie bites and cookie bars. These snacks are perfect for on-the-go consumption and are available in various flavors and sizes.

Furthermore, Cookie Time supports local communities through various charitable initiatives. They have partnered with organizations that focus on children's welfare and education, aiming to make a positive difference in the lives of young people.
