Subway's OREO Footlong Cookie is a foot-long chocolate cookie with OREO pieces, topped with vanilla cream and more OREO pieces and served warm. At home, mix a chocolate cookie dough with chopped OREO cookies, pat it into a bar twelve inches long, bake it at 350°F for about seventeen minutes and finish it with a vanilla cream and crushed OREO.
What the Subway OREO Footlong Cookie is
Subway announced it on 30 January 2025: chocolate cookie dough with OREO cookie pieces, topped with sweet vanilla cream and finished with more OREO pieces, served warm, for a limited time. By then, the announcement says, more than 13 million Footlong Cookies had been sold.
The Footlong Cookie itself was a year old. It arrived in January 2024 as one of three Sidekicks: a chocolate chip cookie a foot long at $5, beside a footlong churro and a footlong pretzel.
The recipe below is a reconstruction from those descriptions, and MakeFoodLovely is not connected with Subway or OREO.

Ingredients
- For the cookie:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 OREO cookies, chopped
- For the vanilla cream:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Beat 1/2 cup of butter with the granulated sugar and the brown sugar for 2 minutes, until pale. Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
- Whisk the flour, the cocoa, the baking soda and the salt together and mix them into the butter on low speed. Stir in three quarters of the chopped cookies.
- Turn the dough onto the parchment and pat it into a bar 12 inches long, 3 inches wide and about 3/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until the edges are set and the middle still looks soft. Let the cookie cool on the sheet for 15 minutes; it firms up as it cools.
- For the cream, beat 2 tablespoons of butter with the powdered sugar, the milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla until smooth. Drizzle or pipe it over the warm cookie, scatter the rest of the chopped cookies over it and cut the cookie into 6 pieces.

One long cookie in place of twelve round ones
- Pat, do not roll. The dough is soft; wet fingers shape it without sticking.
- Leave room. The bar spreads about an inch on every side.
- Take it out soft. The middle should still look underdone. A bar baked until firm in the oven is dry once cool.
- Fifteen minutes on the sheet. Hot from the oven, the cookie breaks when it is lifted.
The plain Footlong Cookie
For the chocolate chip version, leave out the cocoa and the OREO cookies, raise the flour to 1 1/3 cups and stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips. It needs no cream on top. Round ones have their own page, the chocolate chip cookies.
The OREO Cookie Cup
Subway in the United Kingdom added an OREO Cookie Cup in June 2026, which Verge Magazine describes as a soft-baked cookie filled with vanilla-flavoured crème and crushed OREO pieces.
The dough above makes that shape too. Press it into 9 greased cups of a muffin tin, bake for 12 minutes, press a hollow into each one with the back of a spoon while it is hot, and fill the hollows with the vanilla cream and chopped cookies once they are cool.
Warm, and the next day
Subway serves the cookie warm. A piece that has cooled comes back in 10 seconds in the microwave. The cookie keeps 3 days in a closed container at room temperature.
