Background information

Maryland Cookies were first produced in 1956 by Lyons through its Blackpool subsidiary, Symbol Biscuits. [2] At the end of 1994, Lyons Biscuits was sold to Hillsdown Holdings, which was acquired in 1999 by Hicks Muse Tate & Furst. Horizon Biscuits, owned by HMTF, manufactured Maryland Cookies, and following HMTF’s acquisition of Burton’s Foods in 2000, the two businesses were merged. [3] Maryland Cookies subsequently took on Burton's branding. In 2021 Burton's was bought by the Ferrero Group. [4] According to Burton’s, Maryland is among the UK’s best-selling cookie brands. [5] According to a 2019 report in Wales Online, over 12 billion Maryland Cookies are sold within Europe each year. [6] The recipe for Maryland Cookies resembles a chocolate chip shortbread. [7]
