On Jan. 18, 2024, Subway released some new items to their menu to spice up the sandwich competition and keep their business in the running. One of the more popular items they added was their new Footlong Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Overall the cookie has its ups and downs but serves its purpose since it’s only marketed at 5 dollars. The best thing about this cookie is that when you order it, it comes heated up in their toaster oven. However the worst thing about this cookie is the fact that it comes at a whopping 1,440 calories.

The fact that this cookie contains 1,440 calories alone is enough of a reason to not buy this cookie when understanding the health consequences. Its cookie also includes 70 grams of fat, 126 grams of sugar and 210 grams of total carbs. So overall the nutrition contents of the cookie seem pretty unhealthy for anyone to consume.

When I first tried it, my first thoughts were pretty good in terms of the overall taste and warmth. However, considering the price of the cookie it seems pretty tempting to purchase it until people realize how many calories it contains.

Overall, my opinion of the overall taste of the cookie, beside the upside of it being warmed up before serving, is that it’s a moist floppy cookie that seems to just fall apart whenever you attempt to pick it up. I feel that if Subway would take any time in trying to improve this cookie, it would be best for them to start with the flavor.

If you decide to purchase this item I would recommend bringing something to drink, like milk because it’s important to note that the cookie just tastes a lot like flour and causes you to be super thirsty.

Overall I’d say that if Subway added more chocolate to their cookies, it would take away the heavy amount of flour taste and would make the cookie more enjoyable. But in the end, the quality of the cookie matches the price, so I’d give it a seven out of ten.
