When you think of Jimmy John’s, the first things that probably come to mind are their “freaky fast” subs and crunchy, delicious chips. But there’s one menu item that often flies under the radar — the cookies. These sweet treats are an underrated way to finish off a meal, and this summer, Jimmy John’s is giving the dessert a seasonal twist.
The sandwich chain recently rolled out its first cookie of the year, and it's a zesty surprise: the Lemon Sunshine Cookie. This limited-time offering delivers a burst of lemon flavor complemented by creamy white chocolate chips, creating a treat that feels like sunshine in every bite.
Over the years, Jimmy John’s has had a variety of unique cookie flavors — from pumpkin white chocolate to chocolate peppermint — often aligning with seasonal themes. The Lemon Sunshine Cookie continues that tradition, even if its bright, citrusy flavor might feel more like spring than summer. Still, it fits well with the warmer months, offering an option that pairs nicely with any sandwich on the menu.
My Thoughts
Thanks to Jimmy John's, I had the chance to try this. I received it via their "freaky fast" delivery and also had a Slim Four and a bag of BBQ chips, which I believe is the best combo of items that you can order there.
As for the cookie, after the first bite, this instantly became my favorite of the LTO bunch. I've always been a fan of anything lemon, and I think the white chocolate chips helped to make the cookie stand out even more in terms of flavor.
Although Subway remains my favorite when it comes to cookies from sub spots - largely because they are freshly baked, and nothing is better than their chocolate chip cookies. For the pre-packaged ones from Jimmy John's, this one is by far the tastiest for me.
If you’re curious, you can grab one now at your local Jimmy John’s. Whether you’re in need of a quick pick-me-up or the perfect end to a meal, this cookie brings just the right balance of brightness and indulgence — a little piece of sunshine to go with your sub.
