A year after Subway released its original chocolate chip footlong cookie, the Miami-based sandwich giant is introducing the Oreo Footlong Cookie on Thursday.

The newest 12-inch treat features chocolate cookie dough studded with Oreo cookie pieces and topped with vanilla cream and more pieces of the iconic chocolate sandwich cookies. It’s available nationwide for a limited time, served warm and priced around $5. 

“Subway worked closely with the Oreo cookie experts to create something that fans of both brands are going to love—the ideal blend of our popular double chocolate cookie with the delicious crunch of their signature chocolate cookie and crème filling,” Paul Fabre, Subway's senior VP, culinary and innovation, said in a statement. “Oreo cookies capture our passion for quality ingredients and maximum flavor, making them the ideal partner for Subway’s first Footlong Cookie collaboration.” 

Last June, Subway partnered with Atlanta-based GoTo Foods, parent company of Auntie Anne’s and Cinnabon, to introduce a Footlong Pretzel and Cinnamon Footlong Churro to the Sidekicks menu, but this is the first time collaborating with a packaged cookie brand. 

Sidekicks has been a successful platform for Subway. Since the chocolate chip cookie’s 2024 debut, over 13 million Subway Footlong Cookies have been sold, according to the company. During this past holiday season, the chain launched a seasonal variation: the Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie.

Back in May, Fabre told Restaurant Business that Sidekicks are meeting the surging demand in snacking. “People come in and order a Sidekick to have as snack, or buy multiples to share as afternoon snacks,” said Fabre. “They’re a quick addition and offer great value for the guest.” 

The Oreo Footlong Cookie is the first line extension of 2025, but Fabre implied more Sidekicks are in the pipeline.
