The Footlong Cookie is exactly what the name promises: a single chocolate chip cookie baked to the length of a Footlong sub, sold in the same paper sleeve. It launched as part of the Sidekicks range and it has outlasted most of the novelty items around it, for one simple reason — it is the best value sweet item Subway sells.

On weight and on calories per dollar the Footlong Cookie wins outright — it is roughly six regular cookies for the price of two or three. That is also the warning: it is not a single-serving dessert, whatever the packaging implies. Split it four ways and each portion is about 300 calories, which is a normal cookie-sized treat.
What it actually tastes like
Same dough as the standard chocolate chip cookie, baked thicker and longer, so the middle stays soft while the ends firm up. Fresh from the oven it is very good. Two hours later it is a large, dense, room-temperature cookie — ask when the last bake was, and ask for one from the back if the tray has been sitting out.
How to order it well
- Ask for it warmed for 10–15 seconds if it has cooled.
- Ask for it cut — most stores will slice it into portions on request.
- Buy it with a group order or catering platter; it replaces a cookie tray at a lower cost. See catering.
- Check app offers first — it is often included in bundle promotions rather than discounted alone (coupons).
