"Whether our guests have a sweet tooth for classic flavors or more unique tastes packed into our Big 'S' cookies, we have the perfect cookie to celebrate National Cookie Day and complement the big flavors and bold ingredients of our guests' favorite entrée items."
Small cookie flavors available for free with the purchase of an entrée item on National Cookie Day include sugar, chocolate chip and oatmeal.
