How to Craft Cookie in Minecraft

Cookie in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Restores 2 hunger points. Minecraft has used the name Cookie since Beta 1.4.

Gather 2 Wheat and 1 Cocoa Beans, then work it on a Crafting Table. Place them as two Wheat side by side and a single Cocoa Beans in the middle column. Done once, that is 8 Cookies. On the food bar that is 2 hunger and 0.4 saturation.

Cookie Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Cookie is minecraft:cookie. In commands the namespace may be left off, so cookie works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p cookie
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p cookie 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve cookie 1

Cheats have to be on for Cookie to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview

Cookies restore 2 hunger points each. One recipe makes 8 cookies. Cookie uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown.

Minecraft has used the name Cookie since Beta 1.4, the oldest release whose language file lists it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with wheat (harvest wheat crops) and cocoa beans (harvest from cocoa pods on jungle trees).

Stack Maths

A full stack of 64 wheat gives 256 cookies, across 32 crafts at 2 for 8. You supply 32 cocoa beans to go with it. Craft 32 empties the box exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to craft a Cookie in Minecraft?
The list for a Cookie is short: 2 Wheat and 1 Cocoa Beans, worked at a Crafting Table. Copy the grid above cell for cell, and one craft produces 8 Cookies.
Can you craft a Cookie without a crafting table?
No, a Cookie needs a crafting table. It is laid out as two Wheat side by side and a single Cocoa Beans in the middle column, and that takes 3 columns, more than the 2x2 grid in your inventory can hold.
Where do you find the materials for a Cookie?
Here is where each part of a Cookie comes from. Wheat: harvest wheat crops. Cocoa Beans: harvest from cocoa pods on jungle trees.
How many Cookies do you get from one craft?
The Cookie recipe makes 8 Cookies in a single craft.
How much hunger does Cookie restore?
Cookie restores 2 hunger points, which is 1 drumstick on the bar, with 0.4 saturation behind it. Saturation is what decides how long before you get hungry again.
What is the item ID for Cookie in Minecraft?
The Cookie item ID is minecraft:cookie, and in a command you can drop the namespace and write cookie on its own. Checked against Java 26.2.
What is the give command for Cookie?
The command for Cookie is /give @p cookie. Add a number for more than one, so /give @p cookie 64 hands you a full stack, and it only runs with cheats enabled.
Is the Cookie recipe the same in Java and Bedrock Edition?
Java and Bedrock agree on a Cookie: both want 2 Wheat and 1 Cocoa Beans at a Crafting Table in the layout above, and both give 8 at a time.
Which material does a Cookie need the most of?
A Cookie needs more Wheat than anything else: 2 Wheat out of 3 items in total. Gather that first and the rest of the recipe follows easily.
What version of Minecraft added the Cookie?
The name Cookie goes back to Minecraft Beta 1.4, and no older release we can read uses it. The recipe file cannot narrow that down, because recipes only became separate files in 1.12. The Cookie recipe above matches the current release.
