Munchkin Cookie is an expansion for Munchkin Quest released in 2008 for 3–6 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Steve Jackson (I) and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers.
Publisher's Description In 2008, the Dev Team -- smelling slightly of eggnog -- came up with the Munchkin Resurrection Cookie, featuring the grinning Super Munchkin. (We tried to fit his whole body, but his swelled head took up too much room. Too many victories in the dungeon have inflated his ego.) We didn't sell any. We baked up a limited number and gave them all as gifts to staff, distributors, and other friends. These people are very special to us, and we wanted to give them the very nicest thing you can give to a munchkin... deserved in-game benefits! Rule If you suffer Bad Stuff that includes "death" in any Munchkin card game, you may eat this cookie to avoid all the Bad Stuff. In Munchkin Quest, if you eat this cookie immediately after you flip your last heart to black, you are resurrected! Flip all your hearts back to red. You respawn instantly, in the room where you died, and you don't have to drop your stuff. Other Part of the Munchkin series.
Munchkin Cookie supports 3–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Munchkin Cookie is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Munchkin Cookie for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Munchkin Cookie belongs to these categories: Card Game, Fighting, and Humor. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Munchkin Cookie are: Steve Jackson (I). These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Munchkin Cookie as an expansion for Munchkin Quest. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Munchkin Quest to use it. Check that your edition of Munchkin Quest is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
