Subway Adding Footlong Cookie to Its Permanent Menu
December 1, 2023
Subway will be adding their Footlong Cookie to the sandwich chain’s permanent menu.
The company is known for selling more freshly baked cookies than any other restaurant company in the United States. Subway debuted its footlong cookie on National Cookie Day, December 4, 2022. The sweet treat will become a permanent part of Subway’s menu one year later.
Subway will reintroduce their footlong chocolate chip cookie to select restaurants nationwide in Chicago, Dallas, Miami, and New York. Patrons can visit select Subway restaurants that will be transformed into Cookieway and get one free footlong cookie by purchasing any footlong sub. On Monday, December 4 – National Cookie Day – fans can visit participating Subway restaurants from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. local time while supplies last.
The sandwich chain created a unique, limited run of footlong cookies for National Cookie Day in 2022, which fans gobbled up in less than two hours at its Cookieway pop-up in Miami. Subway’s culinary team subsequently spent the past year working on the recipe to update it further for the enjoyment of its patrons.
“The overwhelming response we received from fans around the country last year let us know that we needed to make the footlong cookie a permanent addition to our menu,” said Paul Fabre, Senior Vice President of Culinary and Innovation at Subway.
“At Cookieway this year, our guests will get a sneak peek of an even better footlong cookie: thick, gooey, packed with chocolate chips, and served warm – right out of the oven. It’s the perfect pairing with your favorite footlong sub and may even become your favorite footlong after the first bite.”
Every cookie sold through December 31, 2023, will support the Subway Cares Foundation. The Subway Cares Foundation runs the Subway’s Fresh Start Scholarships program, among other initiatives. The Fresh Start Scholarship program offers tuition assistance to Sandwich Artists working in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Puerto Rico, providing each recipient with $2,500 (USD) toward secondary education.
Subway’s Footlong Cookie will become a permanent part of the sandwich chain’s menu starting in 2024.
