A type of cookie (biscuit) produced in the UK
Maryland Cookies are a brand name of cookie produced by Burton's Biscuit Company in the United Kingdom.
Background information
Maryland cookies were first produced by Lyons in 1956 through its Blackpool subsidiary Symbol Biscuits. At the end of 1994, Lyons Biscuits was sold to Hillsdown Holdings, which in turn was acquired in 1999 by Hicks Muse Tate & Furst. HMTF split off Hillsdown's biscuit manufacturing arm into the Horizon Biscuit Company, and when HMTF bought Burton's Foods in 2000, they merged it with Horizon. Maryland Cookies subsequently took on Burton's branding. In 2021 Burton's was bought by the Ferrero Group. Today, Maryland is one of the UK's best selling cookies. Over 12 billion Maryland Cookies are sold within Europe each year. The recipe for Maryland Cookies resembles a chocolate chip shortbread.
