Subway unwraps a holiday Footlong Cookie with merry mint flavor
As the holiday season approaches, people are willing to indulge in another sweet treat. The newest Subway Footlong Cookie flavor is bursting with sweetness. Santa might make an early arrival to enjoy this Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie.
Cookies and the holiday season go hand in hand. Whether it is grandma’s traditional recipe offers a taste of nostalgia to the cookie exchange with friends, everyone seems to have a jar full of treats. With all the holly and jolly sentiments, people are willing to say yes to another taste of sweetness.
Subway is getting into the seasonal sweetness spirit by adding a new limited time dessert, the Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie. The special flavor is all about the “merry mint” of the season.
As said Paul Fabre, Senior Vice President, Culinary and Innovation at Subway explained, “Since their debut earlier this year, millions of Footlong Cookies have delighted our fans—now we can’t wait for them to experience how we’ve reimagined another classic cookie flavor into even more footlong indulgence. The holiday season is synonymous with cookies, making it the perfect time to introduce this new warm, flavor-packed footlong cookie to our snack menu.”
The Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie uses contrasting textures to balance all the sweetness in this dessert. The double chocolate dough is quite rich. Studded with white and chocolate chips, the combination is a symphony of sugary delight.
To break up the sweetness, the peppermint flavors come in two ways. First, the peppermint extract ensures that the double chocolate dough has the burst of brightness. It is understated but vital to the overall enjoyment.
The candy cane pieces bring a little whimsy. In addition to the burst of color, the added texture makes for an enjoyable bite. It captures holiday fun in the simplest way.
Adding a holiday-centric dessert to the menu is smart for Subway. While the quick service restaurant brand has rolled out many new menu items, the snack section of its menu is just as important to the company’s success. Seasonal or specialty items can be that impulse buy which makes the overall food experience more memorable.
Also, the seasonal Footlong Cookie can be a savior for busy shoppers. Why not grab a few extra wrapped cookies to take to the party, office, or even school. Grabbing a quick meal with a bonus food find can have people heading to Subway for that convenience.
Subway’s Double Chocolate Peppermint Footlong Cookie is available starting November 1. It will be available until December 31 or while supplies last. Check with restaurants for availability and pricing.
