Dad's Cookies

Dad's Cookies is a historic brand best known for its oatmeal cookies. The brand originated in the early 20th century, specifically in 1929, when it was introduced in Canada by the Dad's Cookie Company. Over the decades, it became a household staple across North America and parts of Europe, particularly famous for its crunchy texture and signature oatmeal raisin variants.

While the brand has deep Canadian roots, it underwent several ownership changes as the global snack market consolidated. Today, the brand is managed under different corporate umbrellas depending on the geographic region. In Canada, it is a prominent brand within the Mondelēz International portfolio, which manages its manufacturing and distribution. In other regions, such as the UK and Ireland, the brand has historically been associated with different manufacturers like Burton’s Biscuit Company.

Currently, the ultimate ownership of the Dad's brand in its primary North American market lies with Mondelēz International, a global snacking powerhouse headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company continues to produce these cookies using traditional recipes while adapting to modern dietary trends, ensuring the brand remains a leader in the biscuit category well into 2026 and beyond.
