The 2009 Epiphany that Ignited a Cookie Revolution

In 2009, while the world was buzzing with groundbreaking ideas like Airbnb, Uber, and Bitcoin, Akiva Resnikoff had his lightbulb moment. Sitting in Berkeley's original Peet’s Coffee, enjoying an espresso, he dreamed of capturing that coffee magic in a cookie. Armed with just $100 and relentless determination, Akiva experimented with over 60 variations until he perfected the double chocolate coffee cookie. And just like that, The Cookie Department® was born. What started as a passion project quickly became a booming business fueled by a dedicated team and Akiva’s unstoppable energy. Today, The Cookie Department® is a testament to innovation, standing tall alongside the legendary ventures of 2009 and proudly home to Fully Functional Cookies®, Snack Yums™, and Crispy™.
