Cookie☆ is a series that was originally a fan-made derivative work of Touhou Project that has since been spun off into its own fandom.

The name is derived from Marisa and Alice's Cookie Kiss, a fan-made Touhou Project video that was produced by a group of amateur voice actors, animators, and movie editors under the leadership of Rio Hazuna, who directed the film. The video is focused around a Valentine's Day-themed plot involving Marisa and Alice, which was widely criticized by many fans of Touhou Project due to numerous factors including, but not limited to; certain elements of the plot, poor quality of the voice acting, lack of faithfulness to the original Touhou Project works, the personalities of the characters deviating substantially from their original counterparts, and numerous allegations of sexual harassment surrounding Hazuna.

Several characters appearing in Cookie may be derived from the same Touhou Project character, but are considered distinct entities with their own personalities (i.e.: Mars and Uzuki are both derived from Marisa Kirisame). Several spin-off parodies of Cookie☆ have been produced following the widespread criticism, many of which compare the original video to the gay porn film A Midsummer Night's Lewd Dream; due to the common association, many of the characters are alternatively referred to by 2-4 letter acronyms representing the names of their voice actresses (i.e.: Hisui, a derivative character of Reisen Udongein Inaba, is sometimes referred to as HSI). In M.U.G.E.N, several Touhou Project characters have been made based on their depictions in Cookie, which follow the same naming scheme in order to differentiate them from their Touhou counterparts.
