Edible Legends Rise! The 2025 Artix Cookie Contest Winners Announced

Meet our Sweet Victors

Heroes. Friends. Fellow sugar-powered champions! We have officially survived the most delicious contest of the year, and wow, wow, WOW. The 2025 Creative Cookie Contest absolutely obliterated our expectations… and possibly our diets. We saw magic, chaos, courage, frosting physics, flour power, and one candy tragedy that turned into the ultimate comeback story. Let’s dive face first into the sweet victory!

Since we have far too many winners (the best kind of problem to have), we invite you to check out the full contest announcement on this Design Notes post! That way we can also show alllll the cookies and cakes and accompanying photos in big, delicious sizes too.

BTW, we crowned 13 AQW winners 👑 The 13 Lords of Cooking Chaos! Quick, someone trademark that :p

In all seriousness, thank you all who entered and helped make this Frostval unforgettable. Whether you placed and won big, earned runner-up recognition, or simply baked for fun, you are the reason this community is so special.

We are beyond honored to adventure alongside such talented heroes AND chefs!

Battle on,
Beleen, our judges, happy heroes everywhere, and the entire Artix Entertainment family

K is for Kookie

2010 Cookie Contest Music & Video!

The Kookie, Monster Cookie Hork returns with a song about this years player-made AQWorlds cookies! (Note: This was totally unplanned... we got so inspired by your cookies we fired up the amps and even made the extremely deep, sophisticated, and intellectually challenging lyrics on the fly as we recorded it live!) The pictures are in random order (Sorted by Chaos!) My apologies for any missing pictures -- crazy editing may have eaten a few. Everyone did a great job -- I am so impressed with all of the entries! WARNING: Video will make you HUNGRY for COOKIES!

YouTube Challenge: Can you sing cookie more times in 15 seconds than the Cookie Hork? Make a video and link me on Twitter.

Contest Winners

The contest has been judged... it was the hardest thing we ever had to do. Honestly, everyone who entered in this contest deserves to win. One of the most interesting was Beowolve's Cookie sword. At first glance it may look like a poorly made sword cookie with some sprinkles... but next to it is the actual in-game sword Cysero drew last year. That is right -- Beowolve perfectly re-created it placing each and every dot with the right color in the exact same spot. The other entires had simliar level of incredible detail -- study each one closely! ... and congratulations everyone, GREAT JOB!
