Since I was 8, I’ve always wanted to visit the Cookie Time factory. I still remember the Friday afternoon when my name called out through the school intercom announcing I had won the weekly draw for The Giant Cookie Time from tuck shop. I swear everyone in class including the Miss. Leigh became my best friend for the remainder of the day
The trip to the factory was not planned, to be honest I had forgotten all about wanting visit the factory until driving past as I was driving out of Christchurch on the way to Queenstown. I quickly pulled over to the familiar sign and skipped my way into the factory shop. To my delight not only did they sell cookies in bulk, but hot cookies freshly made on the day served hot. Seriously what better place to have a Cookie Time cookie in the world!?
I couldn’t resist munching on the spot while walking drooling over bags and bags of cookies for sale. Couldn’t deny myself another for the road. Needed something to keep me warm along the way 
The Cookie Time Factory Shop is located at 789 Main South Road, Templeton.

While on the a cookie buzz. I it would be wrong for me to not share the first Cookie time retail store.
Skill tester for the, well skilled.. Sadly I don’t fall in this category
Real time screens showing the cookies in the making at home base.
Anyone tried Cookie Time Afghan’s? After a vege pie, and Ferg burger for breakfast I couldn’t possibly stomach anymore. I regret not buying some to go. What was I thinking?
I did how however order myself a divine cup of hot chocolate with topped with cream and cookie crumble <3
Now there really is something for everyone. Gluten Free cookies anyone?
Failing that you can always pick up some merchandise.
