1 in 4 Kiwis have a disability and their employment rate is only 22%. The Cookie Project is a certified social enterprise that employs Kiwis with disabilities to make award-winning delicious cookies. We pay our bakers a decent wage of at least the minimum adult wage of NZ$18.90 an hour. Since launching in June 2018, our cookie fans have supported us to generate over 2,000 hours of employment for more than 30 Kiwis with disabilities. Our market-leading open hiring and pan-disability policy have earned 12 awards and much recognition, including being the recipient of 2019 Attitude ACC Employer Award. The rave reviews of our chocolate chip cookies attracted our PM Jacinda Ardern to drop in for baking lessons with our Cookie Captains! Our edible Cookie Cups won the annual hot chocolate challenge last year. This year, we’ve pivoted our business to include new cookie premix range that became a hot item across social media. We were on track to establish our cookie concept store in August but it fell through. We're not giving up and hope to move to the right premises in September / October. Hence we currently don't have a physical address.
