FAQ (Your Cookie Questions, Answered)
1. Do I have to buy something to get the free cookies?
Most deals require a purchase (or rewards membership), but Edible gives a cookie with ZERO purchase on Aug 4–5. Always check the “How to Redeem” column above.
2. Can I stack deals (e.g., use a coupon + rewards)?
Usually no—each offer is standalone. Read the fine print on the app or ask the cashier.
3. What if my local shop isn’t participating?
Call ahead! Franchise locations sometimes opt out. The chains above are corporate-wide, but it never hurts to confirm.
4. How long do Insomnia’s BOGO cookies stay fresh?
They’re best warm the same day. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temp for 2–3 days (reheat 10 sec in microwave).
5. Can I freeze the cookie cake?
Absolutely! Cool completely → wrap tightly in foil + plastic → freeze up to 3 months. Thaw at room temp, then decorate.
Final thought: National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day only comes once a year—grab your freebies, bake that giant cookie cake, and make it a delicious memory. Happy celebrating!
