# Footlong QSR Cookies The Subway Footlong Cookie is Now a Permanent Menu Item By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2023-11-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-footlong-cookie References: [foodsided](https://foodsided.com/2023/11/29/subway-footlong-cookie-permanent-menu/) & [subway](https://www.subway.com/en-ca)  The [Subway Footlong Cookie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-footlong-cookie) was first offered by the brand for [National Cookie Day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-cookie-days) in 2022 and the brand is bringing it back once again this year, but with an attention to longevity in mind. The footlong treat is being added to the brand's permanent menu to help diners enjoy it at their leisure anytime of day or as a dessert with their favorite sandwich. Patrons will be able to start picking up the cookie at participating locations starting next month, but it will be available for free with any footlong sub purchase on December 4, 2023 from 1pm to 6pm at select locations. Senior Vice President, Culinary and Innovation Paul Fabre spoke on the Subway Footlong Cookie saying, "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. At [Cookieway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/footlong-cookies) 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.” Image Credit: Subway ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 19% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cookie Expansion:** The Subway Footlong Cookie is becoming a permanent menu item, offering customers a larger dessert option. - **Dessert Innovation:** Subway is introducing a footlong cookie that is thick, gooey, and packed with chocolate chips, providing a new indulgent treat for customers. - **Event Promotions:** Subway will be offering the footlong cookie for free with any footlong sub purchase on December 4, 2023, incentivizing customers to visit select locations during a specific time period. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Quick Service Restaurants (QSR):** The Subway Footlong Cookie adds a unique dessert option to the QSR industry, enhancing the overall customer experience. - **Bakery:** Introducing a footlong cookie to the Bakery industry opens doors for new creative recipes and innovative baking techniques. - **Promotional Marketing:** The Subway Footlong Cookie promotion showcases the effectiveness of event-based marketing strategies in driving customer engagement and foot traffic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Footlong Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-footlong-cookie.md) - [Footlong Snack Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subways-sidekicks.md) - [Decadent Footlong Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/footlong-cookies.md) - [Oversized Sandwich Cookie Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-oreo-footlong-cookie.md) - [Canadian QSR Cookie Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-canada.md) - [Supersized Cream-Filled Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-footlong.md) - [Footlong Gingerbread Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/footlong-gingerbread-cookie.md) - [QSR Cookie Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-footlong-cookie.md) - [Footlong Variety Options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/footlong-sidekicks-and-dippers.md)
