The cookie is an edible item that requires Cocoa Beans to craft, which appear in dungeon chests or on Jungle trees from Cocoa Plants.

Cookies restore 🍗 each, but only 0.4 of a "saturation" point. A half-stack of 32 cookies restores as many hunger points as 8 Cooked Porkchops, but the saturation of only one porkchop.

Ingredients Crafting recipe
Podzol +
Diamond Sword +
Stone

64

Advantages

  • Cookies are made in batches of 64 from just a single diamond sword, a stone block and podzol.
  • Cookies recover 🍗. Therefore, they can be eaten without any waste, before the player actually loses healing ability. Thus players can constantly stay at a high enough hunger level to restore health.
  • Stone is easy to acquire, as it is made from cobblestone, which is obtained early in the game.
  • In comparison, cookies are actually a more efficient way to use diamonds than a Diamond Chest plate or other diamond armor. In Diamond Chestplates, 8 diamond helps keep health high, only 3 diamonds, some podzol, and some stone is needed to help keep health restoration up.

Disadvantages

  • Cookies have a quite low saturation level compared to "meatier" foods, so their effects tend to be short-lived.
  • While a single cocoa bean's worth of cookies will restore the hunger meter as much as two cooked porkchops or steaks, it's far quicker to eat 2 items than 8, and the cookies won't provide nearly as much "saturation". Stack for stack other foods provide far more effect for the inventory space, especially when saturation is considered.
  • Melons have a similar food restoration and saturation level, but unlike cookies, can be farmed automatically using a BUD switch. Melons can also be directly crafted into seeds, whereas cookies a whole diamond sword, which is hard to get and podzol, which requires a silk touch pickaxe in the Mega Taiga biome.

History

Since their introduction, Diamond Swords were arguably the scarcest item in the game, making cookies a rare trophy. However, in version 1.3, the diamond swords became farmable, making cookies a cheap small-change food. Especially with their increased food value, they seem likely to replace Melons in that role.

Cookies are a good idea if you have the resources, but if you don't, don't try it.
