National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day is Tuesday, August 4, 2026. (Not to be confused with National Chocolate Chip Day, in May, and National Cookie Day, which is in December.)
This is a day to celebrate America’s favorite cookie flavor. Chocolate chip cookies are even better when they’re free!
Read on for some deals and freebies to help you celebrate!
Remember that participation in a special offer can vary by location — especially with national chains and franchises. If you’ll be disappointed to find your location isn’t participating, please call ahead.
We have a big day-by-day list of restaurant deals in the Triangle, so if you’re feeling hungry, check it out! We update it every day.
DoubleTree by Hilton
If you’ve ever stayed at a DoubleTree hotel, you know that the signature welcome is a warm chocolate chip cookie upon check-in.
On Tuesday, August 4, 2026, anyone can swing into a DoubleTree lobby to get a free cookie. You don’t have to be staying at the hotel. Choose between the classic cookie or the allergen-free version. View the press release. (You’ll have to scroll down or search for “cookie.”)
Plus, a few years ago, Doubletree released the secret recipe for its famous cookies, so you can make them at home!
