You should always enclose file paths in double quotes, in case it contains
spaces:
Copy "%userprofile%\desktop\*.*" "c:\profile\desktop\"
Also, consider using XCopy:
xcopy /?
<snip>
/S Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/H Copies hidden and system files also.
/K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only
attributes.
<snip>
/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...
Specifies a list of files containing strings. Each string
should be in a separate line in the files. When any of the
strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be
copied, that file will be excluded from being copied. For
example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude
all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the
.obj extension respectively.

Why don't you give more details? Say something more helpful than just it's
not working. Are you saying the COPY command gives no errors, yet no files
are copied? That would mean either there are no files in that folder, or
they are hidden.
Which operating systems do you need this script to work on?

You MD Cookie (singular) but later copy to cookies (plural). Other than
that I don't see anything else syntactically wrong...
