Our Mission
From a Passion to a Purpose
In 2009, Akiva Resnikoff set out on a mission to shake up the snacking world with a simple, yet daring idea: blending coffee into cookies. What began as a passion project in a kitchen quickly took on a life of its own, giving birth to The Cookie Department. Fueled by an unwavering drive for innovation, Akiva's vision grew from a bold experiment into a thriving enterprise. Today, The Cookie Department remains true to its inventive roots constantly redefining boundaries. With each new brand, we continue to unlock fresh possibilities and set bold new standards, reshaping the future of snacks.
Guided by Our Core Principles
Taste is Paramount and Non-Negotiable:
If it doesn’t taste great, it doesn’t leave our kitchen.
Simple & Honest:
No chemical mysteries—just real, recognizable, high-quality ingredients.
Designed for Every Lifestyle:
Whether you’re indulging or refueling, our snacks are crafted to satisfy every craving. .
Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
At The Cookie Department, we believe great snacks bring people together—and so does a commitment to inclusivity. We strive to create a workplace and brand that reflects the diversity of our communities, celebrating the unique experiences of every individual.
From our team to our product offerings, we foster an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. Through our Food for Thought initiative, we extend this mission by supporting those facing food insecurity, working to make access to nourishing food a right, not a privilege.
At The Cookie Department, we’re not just baking cookies—we’re building connections, uplifting communities, and shaping a more inclusive future, one bite at a time.
Food for Thought:
Baking a Better Future
At The Cookie Department, we believe in using our products and resources to drive meaningful, lasting change. Through our Food for Thought initiative and our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), every decision we make and product we create goes beyond profit—uplifting lives, strengthening communities, and protecting our planet for future generations.

These are the best tasting cookies ever
I first discovered these cookies flying on United Airlines. They’re probably one of the best cookies that I’ve ever eaten. So glad that I was able to order them directly so my family can enjoy them too. If you haven’t tried them yet, you definitely should.

My newest go-to snack
Will be ordering more!! The double chocolate chip cookie tastes just like brownie batter. I normally stick to soft cookies, but these have won me over.

Thanks vegan snack box
I stumbled upon Snack Yums a few weeks ago in my vegan subscription box, and I'm hooked! My kids absolutely adore these snacks. They've become their go-to munchies after school."

My new favorite snack!
I'm eager to try Snack Yums with milk as a cereal. They've already become my favorite go-to snack to take to work.

Delicious Cookies; Soft and Chewy; Great for on-the-go
The cookies are individual wrapped which makes them great for work, school, or other on-the-go snacking. I really enjoyed the flavors of these cookies, and I was happy the snap back (ginger snap) cookie wasn't overpowering.I was delightfully surprised to notice that the 'awaken baked' cookie actually contained caffeine. The packaging says 27mg which is a small amount, but that is bonus points.
