Sunday is National Cookie Day, which means that it’s the perfect excuse to ruin your appetite before dinner (or lunch…or breakfast?) with a pile of delicious cookies. It’s the weekend, so nobody would dare judge you for indulging a sweet tooth. Luckily, all of the cookie fiends out there will be enabled by shops and bakeries all over the country celebrating National Cookie Day with free cookie giveaways. Below, all of the places you can find a free (or almost free) cookie to celebrate the occasion.
Schlotsky’s; Guests will receive a free small cookie in stores with the purchase of any entrée (upgrade to a larger cookie for $1!). If you also tweet @Schlotzskys with a cookie emoji on December 4, you will receive a free cookie coupon via the brand’s rewards app, Lotz4Me.
Hot Box; Get two free chocolate chip cookies from noon to 6pm at St. Louis’ Hot Box Cookies, and all you need to do is follow one of Hot Box’s social media accounts and tag the company in a post.
