- Timekeeper Cookie. Let’s make something great together, deal?
- —Croissant's dialogue from the event Operation: Timeguard
Croisstime is the non-binary ship between Croissant Cookie and Timekeeper Cookie from the Cookie Run fandom.
Canon[]
Operation: Timeguard[]
Croissant Cookie witnesses an innocent cookie (Gingerbrave) and his friends being framed for a crime that they haven't committed. While trying to prove his innocence, she talks to Gingerbrave about the mysterious Director of the TBD and how nobody knows who they really are. The Director of the TBD has ordered that Gingerbrave is guilty, and she can't figure out why. During their adventures, Croissant's personal time machine (her Timecraft) is suddenly sucked inside of a rift without her input. Inside of this rift, the two of them meet Timekeeper Cookie. Timekeeper introduces herself and tells Croissant that she lives "in time". After Croissant tells Timekeeper about the events that had transpired, Timekeeper tells her that she will be just as strong as her one day.
Croissant and Gingerbrave continually meet with Timekeeper, with Timekeeper attempting to goad Croissant into taking easier ways to help Gingerbrave, despite each way being the less moral option. These range from changing the timeline so that snow is missing from the mountain Gingerbrave and his friends are climbing, to removing entire people from the timeline. Croissant almost listens to Timekeeper on several occasions, but is put off of it by Gingerbrave telling her that the memories he made with his friends were more important than simply getting to his destination. Before long, Timekeeper reveals that SHE is the Director of the TBD and that she purposefully framed Gingerbrave for messing with the timeline in order to get Croissant Cookie to realize she should become the Director with her.
Timekeeper kidnaps Gingerbrave while Croissant isn't looking, which leads to her revealing that her and Croissant Cookie are the same person. More specifically, Timekeeper Cookie was a version of Croissant who grew stronger and got bored of life. This led her to seek out other timelines with other versions of her that joined the TBD for one purpose, to have someone else as powerful as her to have fun with. Croissant meets Timekeeper at her office and Timekeeper proposes a deal, defeat her and Gingerbrave and his friends go free, but lose and Croissant has to become the Director like her. At first, Croissant tries to go back in time and ensure that Timekeeper never joins the TBD in the first place, but since she remembers how happy she was at that moment she stops. Croissant decides to propose this: that she will take Timekeeper's advice and become stronger, but still pursue her dream of becoming the best mechanic. Timekeeper accepts this and decides to free Gingerbrave and prevent the TBD from going after him ever again.
At the end of the event, Croissant and Timekeeper are on good terms. Croissant says, "Timekeeper Cookie. Let’s make something great together, deal?" while Timekeeper replies, "It has been a while since I have ever looked forward to something without taking a peek."
Mission: Save the Future![]
Croissant has just finished making her newest invention, a Time Manipulator. She realizes that Timekeeper has been watching her, and she smiles and says that it's been a while since she's seen her. Timekeeper responds by telling her that she's been watching her work since morning. Croissant offers Timekeeper a Time Manipulator, even though Timekeeper already has chronokinesis, to which she takes it.
Later in the event, String Gummy mentions that Croissant's future self as the Director of the TBD (separate from Timekeeper) began looking through time pockets non-stop after Timekeeper fell into a state of futility and locked herself away in one.
CookieRun Bake My Day - Croissant Cookie & Timekeeper Cookie[]
CookieRun Bake My Day - Croissant Cookie & Timekeeper Cookie is a short YouTube video uploaded to the official Cookie Run YouTube channel. It details the daily life of Croissant Cookie. Notably, at the end, Croissant buys a sandwich from Sandwich Cookie and decides to eat it while working on something. While she's looking away, she notices that the sandwich is gone and she smiles. The scene cuts to Timekeeper Cookie, munching on Croissant's sandwich.
8 Years! Our Special Pie Party![]
In one of the puzzle cutscenes, Croissant and Timekeeper appear. Croissant and Timekeeper talk to each other about the events of Operation: Timeguard, mainly about Timekeeper's duty as the Director, and how she's never in her office. Croissant tells her that she should be in her office more, to which Timekeeper says that if the work gets done, everything is fine. Croissant remarks about being "outmanuevered" again.

Fanon[]
Croisstime is a decently popular ship in the Cookie Run fandom. There are a few active members in the Cookie Run community who heavily ship it, many of them being Eastern artists (although it still has its fair share of popularity in the Western side of the fandom.) It is one of the most popular ships for Croissant Cookie (besides Croisstring) and also (debatably) the most popular Timekeeper ship. They are sometimes depicted with String Gummy Cookie as well. The two are semi-frequently depicted in their costumes from the bad future of the TBD.
The ship is mildly controversial as the two cookies are the same person. Some people headcanon the two as having a "sisterly relationship" while others simply hate it on account of it being selfcest. Rarely, some people depict their relationship as "abusive" or depict Croissant as hating Timekeeper despite their interactions in canon.
This ship rivals Croisstring.

Trivia[]
- Timekeeper has several references to Croissant in her trial, being jellies in the shape of croissants. Her skill also has several croissants in the background.
- Despite popular belief, Timekeeper is NOT simply Croissant's future self. She is from another timeline and not from the timeline Croissant is from, meaning she is in no danger of time paradoxes if anything happens to Croissant.
