National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day Deals: Doubletree, Fazoli's, and more

If there's one dessert that always seems to embody happiness and nostalgia, it's cookies. One bite into one instantly takes you back to a fun time with grandma or leaving them out for Santa when you were a kid. But today isn't about just any cookie -- it's about the beloved chocolate chip cookie.

For those unaware, today is the holiday that celebrates the iconic cookie flavor. And in celebration, here are a few places to take advantage of deals and freebies.

DoubleTree

Hotel guest or not, you can visit any hotel and get a cookie. And this is the only one that doesn't require a purchase.

Fazoli's

If you make any purchase, you can receive a free Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Great American Cookies

If you buy one original Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake slice, you get another one for free. All you have to do is mention it to receive the offer.

Insomnia Cookies

With any purchase in-store or delivery order, you can get a free classic Chocolate Chunk Cookie.

Potbelly

All perks members can get a free cookie with any entree purchase.

Which Which

Which Which Vibe Club members can get a free Courtney's Cookie with any sandwich purchase.

If none of these deals catch your eye, then there are two options: bake some cookies at home or go to a place you enjoy eating cookies from. That place for me is Subway because they seem to have the superior fast casual cookie. But just a regular and not a footlong.

That said, whether you decide to bake, take advantage of one of the offers above, or not eat any, it is hard not to think about the awesomeness of a chocolate chip cookie -- especially when it is fresh and hot.

Will you be celebrating this holiday this year? Are chocolate chip cookies your favorite cookie option?
