Subway, Oreo collaborate for 'iconic' footlong sandwich cookie

Milk's favorite cookie was used as the flavor inspiration for Subway's newest footlong cookie.

The Oreo footlong cookie was made available for purchase at Subway restaurants nationwide on Thursday, more than a year after the footlong-size cookie concept was first introduced. The chocolate chip cookie footlong became a permanent menu item shortly after its launch, a Subway spokesperson told USA TODAY on Thursday.

More than 13 million footlong cookies have been sold since the December 2023 rollout, according to a Subway press release. Subway struggled to keep up with the "unprecedented demand" for its $5 dessert, and didn't allow customers to order them online as a result.

The offering, made with Subway's chocolate chip cookie dough base, Oreo pieces and topped with vanilla cream, will only be available for a limited time. Like Subway's footlong chocolate chip cookie, it is "served warm and ready to share."

“Subway worked closely with Oreo to create something that fans of both brands are going to love – the perfect blend of our popular double chocolate cookie with the delicious and delicate crunch of their signature chocolate cookie and crème filling,” Paul Fabre, Subway executive, said in a statement. "Oreo shares our passion for quality ingredients and maximum flavor, making them the ideal partner for Subway’s first Footlong Cookie collaboration.”

Here's what to know about Subway's newest footlong cookie, including how to get it.

How to get Subway's newest footlong Oreo cookie

The Oreo footlong cookie can be purchased through the Subway app, or in-store at your nearest participating Subway restaurant.

Subway cookie was first announced in December 2023

Cookie lovers got a “limited preview” of the footlong cookie in December 2023 for National Cookie Day. Customers in Chicago, Dallas, Miami and New York City who bought a footlong sub were able to snag a free footlong cookie as part of the preview.

Then, in January 2024, the sandwich chain made the footlong cookie available nationwide. Other items, including the $2 Cinnabon footlong churro and the $3 Auntie Anne's footlong pretzel, made their debut the same month.
