The Subway Footlong Cookie was offered by Subway for a limited time for National Cookie Day in 2022 and a year later, it became a permanent menu item—now, fans of the elongated snack can indulge in Subway's Sidekicks, an all-new collection of footlong snacks.
Three footlong snacks will be exclusively available at Subway restaurants nationwide as of January 22nd: a Cinnabon Footlong Churro, Auntie Anne's Footlong Pretzel and the thick and gooey Footlong Cookie. With this collection, there's a sweet or savory option to suit all taste preferences. While the $2 Cinnabon Footlong Churro is topped with Cinnabon's world-famous Makara cinnamon and sugar, the salty and buttery $3 Auntie Anne's Footlong Pretzel is served with a side of Subway's Honey Mustard.
These sweet and savory snacks exemplify Subway's expertise as a creator of footlong sandwiches.
