McDonald's cookies come in one flavour and three sizes: a single chocolate chip cookie at 170 calories, a 3-pack, and a 13-cookie tote that totals 2,160.
A McDonald's chocolate chip cookie is 170 calories and around $1.29. The 13-cookie tote is 2,160 calories in total. Chocolate chip is the only flavour on the US menu; Canada sells three others the States has never had.
McDonald's cookies are the smallest and cheapest dessert on the board, and the only one that does not depend on the soft serve machine working. McDonald's cookies are soft baked rather than crisp, and held warm rather than served at room temperature, which is most of why they taste different from a packet cookie. This page covers all three McDonald's cookies pack sizes with prices, the calorie figures including one that does not divide the way you would expect, what is actually in them, and which pack is the better buy. Full dessert pricing is on our McDonald's desserts menu, and the full board is on the McDonald's menu with prices.
McDonald's cookies come in three formats and one flavour. McDonald's does not publish a single national price for cookies, so the figures below are our surveyed midpoints. Individual restaurants vary more on this item than almost anything else on the board.
| PACK | PRICE | CALORIES | BEST FOR |
|---|---|---|---|
Single Chocolate Chip CookieThe cheapest dessert on the menu | $1.29 | 170 | One person |
3-Cookie PackListed under Sweets & Treats in the app | $2.99 | 510 | Two to share |
13-Cookie ToteHandled cardboard box. Also called the Cookie Box | $7.99 | 2,160 | A group |
Lowest recorded singleRural and value-menu restaurants | $0.99 | 170 | Cheapest |
Highest recorded singleAirport and highway restaurants | $1.79 | 170 | Dearest |
13 singles bought separatelyFor comparison with the tote | $16.77 | 2,210 | Worse value |
170 per cookie and 2,160 for the tote, both published by McDonald's. Divide the second by thirteen and you get 166, not 170, which is worth explaining rather than ignoring.

At 170 calories a cookie is lighter than a vanilla cone at 200, an apple pie at 230 and a regular Oreo McFlurry at 410. It also carries 15g of sugar against the cone's 24g. Every figure is on our McDonald's calorie list.
The tote is the best value per cookie by a wide margin, but only if you have people to share it with. On our surveyed midpoints it works out at roughly 61 cents a cookie against $1.29 buying singles.

Enriched wheat flour, margarine, sugar and brown sugar, egg, semi-sweet chocolate chips, leavening, salt, natural flavour and caramel colour. The chips themselves contain milkfat and soy lecithin, which is why the allergen list runs longer than the ingredient list suggests.

The American McDonald's cookies menu carries chocolate chip and nothing else. Cross the border and McDonald's lists three different cookies on a completely different recipe, running to 250 calories each rather than 170.

McDonald's cookies come from the kitchen, not the soft serve machine, so they stay available when cones, sundaes and McFlurries do not. If the app tells you McDonald's ice cream is unavailable at your restaurant, cookies and the apple pie are the two desserts still on.
Prices are a national midpoint recorded from restaurant menu boards in August 2026. McDonald's does not publish a national cookie price, so local figures vary widely. Calorie figures for the single cookie and the 13-cookie tote are McDonald's published US data; pack figures in between are calculated. Full dessert range on our McDonald's desserts menu, and the full board on the McDonald's menu with prices.
Around $1.29 for a single at our national midpoint, $2.99 for a 3-pack and $7.99 for the 13-cookie tote. McDonald's does not publish a national cookie price, and singles range from about $0.99 to $1.79 depending on the restaurant.
170 calories with 15g of sugar. That makes it the lightest dessert on the menu — a vanilla cone is 200 and an apple pie 230.
2,160, which is McDonald's published figure. That works out at 166 per cookie rather than 170, because McDonald's rounds each product's number independently. Both figures are correct as published.
Chocolate chip, and only chocolate chip, on the US menu. Canada separately lists Chewy Chocolate Chunk, Rainbow Sprinkle and Toasted S'mores, none of which have appeared in American restaurants.
On our midpoints it works out at about 61 cents a cookie against $1.29 buying singles — a saving of nearly $9 over thirteen. But since cookie pricing is local, divide your restaurant's tote price by thirteen and compare with its single price before assuming.
They are baked on site and held in a warming drawer rather than left to cool, which is why they are soft rather than crisp. It also means texture varies — a cookie that has sat a while is not the same as one just out of the oven.
No. They contain egg in the dough and milkfat inside the chocolate chips. They also contain wheat and soy, so they are not gluten free or soy free either, and no modification changes that.
Thirteen, in a handled cardboard box. Some restaurants and guides call it the Cookie Box, but it is the same product. Canada does not sell a tote at all — only individual cookies.
Not as a listed US product. McDonald's sells singles, a 3-pack and the 13-cookie tote. For two, order quantity two of the single — that comes to 340 calories.
Yes. Cookies are baked in the kitchen, not made on the soft serve machine, so they stay available when McDonald's ice cream and McFlurries are not.

Priya has tracked fast food pricing since 2019. Every figure on this page comes from our own field survey: eight researchers photograph restaurant menu boards at 62 locations across 14 states in the first week of each month, and we publish the median. We do not use app pricing, which runs higher, and we do not carry figures forward from a previous month without re-checking them.
