McDonald's Chocolate Chip Cookie Complete Information

A McDonald's Chocolate Chip Cookie carries 170 calories with 2g of protein, which makes it the lightest sweet order anywhere on the McDonald's menu.

The live restaurant listings this site verifies against publish no standalone price for the cookie, so none is shown here rather than invented; it is typically the cheapest thing in the dessert case and is priced per restaurant. What the numbers do say clearly is where it sits: at 170 calories it is under a 200 calorie cone, under a 230 calorie apple pie, and roughly a quarter of an 410 calorie OREO McFlurry. For anyone who wants something sweet at the end of a meal without adding a second meal to it, this is the answer, and it travels better than anything else in the case. Pair it with a black Coffee (Small) at $2.49, or with a Baked Hot Apple Pie when one sweet thing is not the whole answer.

How to Make a Chocolate Chip Cookie at Home?

The McDonald's cookie is soft and chewy rather than crisp, and that comes from two things: melted butter instead of creamed, and pulling it from the oven while the centre still looks underdone. Both feel wrong and both are correct.

Tips

  • Underbake by a minute. The tray finishes them and that is where the chew comes from.
  • Brown sugar over white. It is the moisture, not the flavor, that matters here.
  • Chill the dough. Thirty minutes changes both spread and taste more than any ingredient swap.

Variations

  • Swap half the chips for chunks so some pockets melt and some hold.
  • Add a pinch of flaky salt on top before baking, which McDonald’s does not do and probably should.
  • Use dark chocolate for a less sweet cookie than the original.

Serve warm with coffee. At 170 calories the restaurant version is the lightest sweet thing on the menu.
