Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, the holiday season is officially upon us. Hanukkah kicks off in just over a week, and Christmas is three weeks from today, but you don’t have to wait that long to begin the celebration, because Monday, December 4th is National Cookie Day. Like other food-related holidays, there are a ton of shops participating in National Cookie Day, so do yourself a favor and try to find a free cookie on your lunch break today.
Before we go any further, we have to warn you that the deals we’ve listed below will only be available at participating locations. So before you rush out to grab your free (or cheap) cookie, be sure to call ahead and see if your local store is joining in on the fun of National Cookie Day. Better safe than sorry, especially when cookies are on the line!
Here are all the deals we’ve managed to find so far. If we see more, we’ll be sure to add them to the list (and feel free to leave a comment below if you find a great deal on cookies that we didn’t list here):
