My daughter ate some choco cookies and left some on bed we have to go out of station so my husband just throw unfolded laundry on bed after week we came back now i m scared botulism toxin grow in cookies and in laundry too?

Botulism bacteria are unlikely to be present in cookies and even if present cannot grow or produce toxin in these circumstances. This is zero danger even without laundry. You could eat year old cookie crumbs (or whole cookies) without any risk of botulism or any other health problem.
