I am sure most grocery stores will be giving away a free cookie. Check with that store, I do believe though most grocery stores if you are under a certain age you can get a free cookie anytime. These offers are also based on availability and not all locations participate.

You may want to make sure you have some milk handy because we all know that milk goes great especially with chocolate chip cookies.

I am sure they are all at participating locations and based on availability of cookies too. I am sure some restrictions may apply at each location too. Check with that location for the full details.
