FAQ for

Subway Cookie Recipe

What ingredients are used in Subway cookies?

Subway cookies contain butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. You can also add M&M's or other chocolate candies for variety. These ingredients create that signature soft, chewy texture with melty chocolate chunks.

How to cook Subway cookies at home?

Learn how to cook Subway cookies at home by creaming butter with sugars until fluffy, adding eggs and vanilla, mixing in dry ingredients, folding in chocolate chips, then forming balls of dough. Bake at 180°C for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden but centres are slightly underdone for that authentic chewy texture.

What's the secret to getting that perfect chewy centre in chocolate chip cookies?

The secret is slightly underbaking the cookies (12-14 minutes until edges are golden but centres look underdone), using brown sugar for moisture, and not overmixing the dough. Also, allowing the cookies to finish cooking on the hot baking tray after removal helps achieve that iconic chewy texture.

Can cookie dough be frozen for baking later?

Yes! You can freeze cookie dough balls for up to 3 months in an airtight container. When ready to bake, place the frozen dough balls directly on a lined baking tray and add 2-3 minutes to the baking time. This is perfect for having fresh-baked cookies whenever the craving strikes.

How do you get chocolate chip cookies to spread properly during baking?

For proper cookie spread, ensure butter is softened (not melted), cream it thoroughly with sugars, use room temperature eggs, measure flour accurately (don't pack it), and slightly flatten dough balls before baking. Proper spacing (about 8cm apart) on the baking sheet allows for ideal spread.
