Popeye’s Introduces Chocolate Chip Version of Its Famous Cookies

New desserts have joined the party at Popeye’s, and a sweet chocolate version of its beloved biscuits is part of the menu. The Louisiana favorite has made a lot of headlines in recent years for its various fried chicken iterations, but anyone who loves the chain knows that the silent star of any order is one of its buttermilk biscuits. These flaky treats aren’t just loved by regular folks, with even top chefs like J. Kenji Lopez-Alt touting how great they are for breakfast sandwiches and other meals. So it was a major event when Popeye’s introduced a strawberry version of its biscuits in 2023, which was its first dessert variation. Well, those craving a sweet biscuit after the limited-time item left the menu can rejoice, because Popeye’s has answered your calls once again.

Starting August 5, the chocolate chip cookies will be available at participating Popeye’s locations nationwide, according to a press release from the chain. The chain describes the new cookies as “filled with rich chocolate chips and topped with a drizzle of frosting, offering a unique and indulgent way to enjoy a sweet Popeyes pick-me-up.” No pricing has been announced, but the previous strawberry cookies retailed for $1.79, and like previous special releases, these chocolate chip cookies will only be available for a limited time.

Popeye’s Caramel Apple Cheesecake – Popeye’s

For those of us who aren’t big fans of chocolate or prefer to stick to our salty cookies, Popeye’s is also adding another limited-time dessert: Caramel Apple Cheesecake. While there’s no version on the regular menu, specialty cheesecakes have been popping up at Popeye’s for years now. In 2023, an Oreo cheesecake with Oreo cookie crumbs was well-received, and the chain even released a sprinkled Mardi Gras cheesecake. The new version has a cheesecake base that’s been swirled with a sweet caramel apple filling on a graham cracker crust. It’ll be released the same day, August 5, alongside the new cookie.

Finally, Popeye’s is also offering a popular deal, with two expanded options. The $6.99 Big Box, which includes two pieces of chicken or three tenders with two regular sides and a biscuit, is back. It’s accompanied by $20 and $25 “Bigger Boxes” starting August 12. The $20 version will include ten pieces of chicken with four buttermilk biscuits, and the $25 version will include all of that plus four regular sides. So if the new chocolate chip cookie is tempting but not enough to entice you, you’ve also got some major savings to entice you to buy.
