Subway has announced the return of a fan favorite item after a months-long disappearance from stores: the foot-long chocolate chip cookie . The American fast food chain shared on Wednesday, May 29 that the Footlong Cookie is now available to purchase in Subway stores and on the app for $5. The announcement comes more than four months after the oversized chocolate chip cookie made its debut on the Subway Sidekicks menu in January.
However, the Footlong Cookie disappeared from Subway’s menu shortly after due to overwhelming demand. “The Footlong Cookie has delighted millions of Americans since their first bites in January, sparking unprecedented demand over the last several months,” said Paul Fabre, senior vice president of culinary and innovation at Subway, in a press release . “Subway worked diligently to rush additional Footlong Cookie supply to satisfy cookie cravings at a great value and serve up a footlong dose of happiness this summer.
” The 12-inch-long chocolate chip cookie, which is served warm, initially hit Subway stores alongside a Cinnabon foot-long churro and a foot-long soft pretzel from Auntie Anne’s. Subway said it has sold more than five million Footlong Cookies since its roll out. Customers can order the Footlong Cookie in Subway stores across the US, as well as Subway’s website, app, and third-party services such as DoorDash and Uber Eats.
Subway – initially founded in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1965 – is known for specializing in submarin.
