Chick Fil A Cookie, Brownie and Dessert Guide for the Treats Menu

If you cannot decide between the two, pick the cookie when you want something lighter on sugar and the brownie when you want something rich and fudgy. They match on calories at 370, so the difference is in the sugar, the fat and the texture.

Here is another way to see it. Per dollar at delivery-app starting prices, the cookie is the cheaper way to get 370 calories, which is a real saving if you are adding dessert for a family of four. The brownie is the one to choose if the sugar and chocolate hit is what you are after, since its 35g of sugar is the highest of any baked item.

For a lunch add-on, the cookie costs less and has less sugar. For an end-of-meal indulgence, the brownie delivers more chocolate. Neither is a health food, and neither is a small snack by fast-food standards.

If you are sharing, the brownie breaks into pieces more neatly. The cookie is easy to split in half too, and the oats keep it from crumbling much. Ordering one of each and trading halves gives you both flavors for less than the price of a milkshake.

Sweet options go well beyond cookies and brownies. The frozen side of the menu is built on Icedream, the chain's own milk-based dessert, and it includes a cup, a cone, floats, frosted drinks and milkshakes.

Icedream is the smallest way to end a meal. The Icedream Cup has 140 calories and the Icedream Cone has 180. Those are the lightest sweet items on the menu, and the best choice if you want a small treat. The cone costs a little more in calories because of the cone itself.

Floats come in at 320 calories, and flavors vary by location. Frosted drinks are the other group. The Frosted Coffee has 260 calories, Frosted Sodas 320, the Frosted Lemonade 350 and the Pineapple Dragonfruit Frosted Lemonade 360. Each blends Icedream with a drink, so they sit between a milkshake and a regular beverage.

Milkshakes are the heaviest group, running from 560 to 630 calories for the four classic flavors, and 650 for the limited-time S'mores Milkshake. You can see every flavor on the Chick-fil-A milkshake flavors and seasonal shakes page.

If coffee is what you want, the frosted coffee and cold brew page covers the drinks in more depth.

Frosted Lemonade and Frosted Soda Cards

The Frosted Lemonade blends Chick-fil-A Lemonade or Diet Lemonade with Icedream, so it is sweet, tart and creamy at the same time. Frosted Sodas use Icedream spun with your choice of fountain drink, which makes the flavor depend entirely on what you pick.

The practical difference is simple. Lemonade gives you a bright citrus taste, while a Frosted Soda gives you a creamy version of a drink you already like, such as a root beer or orange float feel. Frosted Sodas are the cheapest of the frosted drinks at the delivery-app starting price and have 320 calories.

The Pineapple Dragonfruit Frosted Lemonade is the limited-time version, with tropical pineapple and dragonfruit flavors. It is available at participating locations for a limited time, so it may not be on your menu. Details on the lemonade side are on the lemonade and frosted lemonade page.

The full list runs from 370 calories for the cookie and the brownie, 140 to 180 for Icedream, 260 to 360 for the frosted drinks, 320 for floats and 560 to 650 for milkshakes. Every treat contains at least milk.

Icedream is a milk-based dessert. The vanilla shake ingredient list shows whole milk, sugar, nonfat milk, milkfat, cream and whey powder, plus flavoring and stabilizers. That is why even the plain Icedream cup is not dairy-free. Seasonal items have their own ingredient lists, so confirm them in the app.

No item on the dessert list is advertised as gluten-free or dairy-free. The cookie and brownie contain wheat and milk, and the cookies and cream shake adds wheat and soy from the cookie crumbs. The cone has its own ingredients, so check the allergen guide before you order one if wheat matters.

For the gluten question in more detail, the gluten-free ordering tips page goes through the whole menu. The complete calorie and nutrition guide has the numbers for savory items too.

Seasonal treats rotate through the year, and the right way to find them is the Chick-fil-A One app for your restaurant. Past examples include S'mores items, a Peppermint Chip milkshake in winter and a Peach milkshake in summer.

The S'mores Milkshake and S'mores Frosted Coffee use toasted marshmallow syrup with chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles. Both are listed as limited-time and sold in select locations, with 650 and 400 calories on the official treats page.

Peppermint Chip first appeared in 2008 and has come back many winters since, with bits of peppermint bark chips mixed into Icedream. A Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee and a Peppermint Iced Coffee have been added alongside it in recent seasons. Peach is a summer flavor.

A seasonal treat can show up late, leave early or skip your area. Do not count on a specific date, and call or check the app if you are making a special trip. The new and limited-time menu items page tracks what is currently being added.

For a group, Chick-fil-A sells cookie and brownie trays through catering. The Chocolate Chunk Cookie Tray comes in a small size of 12 cookies and a large size of 24, and the cookies are baked fresh each day in the restaurant.

A cookie from Chick Fil A in a tray is the simplest dessert for an office lunch or a classroom, because nobody has to cut anything. The brownie tray is sold in halves, with 12 halves in the small size and 24 in the large, and each half has 190 calories. That is exactly half the 370 of a full brownie.

Pricing is not fixed and depends on your location, so you need to start a catering order to see it. Ask your restaurant how much notice it needs for larger orders. The cookie and brownie trays for groups are covered on the catering page, alongside the sandwich and nugget trays that most people order them with.

Brownie halves are also handy if you want guests to take a smaller portion. Two halves equal one regular brownie at 380 calories on the tray numbers, close to the 370 for a single one.

A quick rule: one cookie per person is plenty when a tray goes next to a full lunch. If the dessert is the main event, add a few extras.

You can order treats in the restaurant, in the drive-thru, through the Chick-fil-A One app for pickup, or on a delivery app. Pickup is the best way to get a baked item at its best and a frozen item at its coldest.

A few notes help you read the chick fil a dessert menu in the app. Prices vary by location. Delivery-app prices shown on this site are starting prices and are usually higher than in the restaurant. Whipped topping and cherries are left off milkshakes served through delivery, so a delivered shake looks plainer than a restaurant one.

Prices shown for baked items are low next to shakes, which start near $7 in the delivery app for the S'mores version. That gap is the real value story on the treats menu. At those starting prices, a cookie costs well under half of what a shake does.

For value, the cookie at $2.59+ is the cheapest baked treat and the Icedream cup is the lowest-calorie option. The Chick-fil-A One app sometimes lists offers on treats, but they change, so check it instead of expecting one.

Ordering cookies at Chick Fil A as an add-on to a meal is the easiest way to keep the total down, since a cookie costs a fraction of a shake. If you are hungry and want a bigger dessert, a milkshake carries over 500 calories, so the cookie or brownie is usually the better trade.
