Looking for an authentic Subway Cookie recipe? Well, look no further because MoM Member, Mariam has come up with one that is so much like the real deal, we couldn’t tell the difference.

But first, for the uninitiated …

What all the fuss about Subway Cookies?

If you’ve heard about Subway Cookies but are yet to try one, you really need to get yourself over to a Subway store STAT! Decadent, sweet and deliciously moreish, these cult-favourite treats are the little boost that helps get you through the mid-afternoon slump.

Most stores sell multiple flavours, including chocolate chip, double-chocolate, rainbow and macadamia options – and if we’re being honest, we struggle to choose just one favourite from so much goodness.

Of course, getting to the shops for a cookie isn’t convenient for most of us, which is why a never-fail Subway Cookie recipe is an absolute must-have in your home baking folder. Trust us, it’ll be on such high rotation, you’ll have it memorised in no time.

The ultimate Subway Cookie recipe

Kindly contributed from MoM Member, Mariam, the recipe below demonstrates just how easy it is to make Subway Cookies for the family. Our advice is to double-batch (actually, make that triple-batch), then hide one batch somewhere that only you know about. (We won’t tell!).

If you love nothing more than a hot cuppa and a sweet treat in those rare moments of peace, give these cookies a whirl. You’ll never know they didn’t come straight from Subway.

A great recipe for the adults (and kids of course). Guaranteed to be gone instantly. – Mariam, recipe author.

Can you freeze the dough?

Yes! One of the reasons our community adores this recipe for Subway Cookies is that it can be made ahead of time, frozen and pulled out when you’re ready to bake. Simply combine all of the ingredients, roll it into a log, wrap it and freeze it.

Like most cookie dough, it will keep for several weeks in the freezer, and to defrost, just pop it on the bench for a few hours ahead of baking.

Baking tips for the perfect Subway Cookie

These tips will help you nail your cookies every single time:

• Chill your dough ahead of baking (this helps to harden the fats in the ingredients and stop them from spreading too much on the tray)
• Save some chocolate chips to put on top towards the end of baking
• Remember, they’ll keep cooking for a few minutes after they come out of the oven, so don’t overbake them!
• Let them cool on the tray before transferring them to a cooling rack or plate
• Always make an extra batch! One is never enough
