Cookies were added to Minecraft in the beta 1.4 edition that released on March 31st, 2011. They were originally a very rare food item, as cocoa beans were not able to be farmed until update 1.3.1.

Cookies in Minecraft 1.19 update are a special type of food item. When players first enter the world, they have to keep an eye on a lot of things, including the hunger bar.
