30,000 free cookies in Paris on 16 September for Cookie Day 2026
Cookie Day 2026 is just around the corner, and this year the event promises to be more indulgent than ever. On Wednesday 16 September 2026, La Fabrique Cookies is hosting its 9th edition of this day dedicated to lovers of sweet treats. If you have a thing for cookies and a good deal, this is a date worth locking in right now.
A gourmand tradition that grows bigger every year
Since its launch, La Fabrique Cookies’ Cookie Day has been a genuine hit with Parisians. Back in 2020, 18,000 cookies were given away for free. That was followed by 11,000 cookies in 2021, then 15,000 cookies in 2022.
For this 9th edition of Cookie Day 2026, La Fabrique Cookies is raising the bar. The brand plans to hand out 30,000 free cookies, right down to the very last one. That makes this the most generous edition of the annual event to date.
Getting involved is straightforward and open to everyone. One cookie is offered to each customer, with no purchase required. All you need to do is visit one of La Fabrique Cookies’ Paris locations on 16 September, from opening time until 7 pm.
Artisan know-how rooted in the French regions
What sets La Fabrique Cookies apart is, above all, its artisan approach. Its recipes are made using ingredients that are 70% French in origin. The brand draws on regional specialities to craft flavours that feel authentic and instantly recognisable.
Among those regional inspirations: the calisson d’Aix-en-Provence, the praline rose de Valence, salted butter caramel from Guérande, and nougat de Montélimar. These references root the brand firmly in a rich and varied French culinary heritage.

The 5 recipes on offer for Cookie Day 2026
For this special day, customers will be able to choose from 5 house recipes. Each one reflects the care La Fabrique Cookies puts into its creations. And this year, a brand-new addition makes its debut in the line-up.
Among the recipes on offer for Cookie Day 2026, there are long-standing favourites to rediscover. Chocolate lovers will be spoilt for choice across several variations. The new protein option, meanwhile, is aimed at those looking for something a little more balanced.
- Milk chocolate cookie
- Dark chocolate cookie
- Super Choco cookie
- White chocolate and pecan cookie
- New protein cookie with chocolate chips, peanut butter and oats
The new protein cookie deserves a special mention. It brings together chocolate chips, peanut butter and oats in a recipe that’s entirely new to the house menu for this edition.
How to make the most of the event on 16 September
To claim a free cookie during Cookie Day 2026, head to one of La Fabrique Cookies’ Paris locations. The offer is valid on 16 September 2026, from opening time until 7 pm. No purchase is necessary.
That said, it’s worth not leaving it too late. The 30,000 cookies will be distributed until the very last one, and demand is fierce every year. Getting there early in the day remains the best strategy if you want to be sure of securing yours.
Why this event keeps winning over Parisians
The success of Cookie Day comes down to a simple, generous formula. Year after year, the combination of free entry and artisan quality draws a loyal and curious crowd. The variety of recipes on offer also means there’s something for everyone.
The rising numbers from one edition to the next speak for themselves. From 18,000 cookies in 2020 to 30,000 cookies planned for this 9th edition, the growth has been steady. The event has firmly established itself as a must in the Parisian foodie calendar.
Beyond that, the brand’s connection to French terroir adds an extra dimension to the experience. These are not simple takes on American classics. Instead, they tell a distinctly French culinary story, through carefully chosen ingredients and well-defined flavours.
The arrival of the new protein cookie also shows that La Fabrique Cookies knows how to move with its customers’ expectations. This 9th edition of Cookie Day 2026 is shaping up to be the most ambitious yet, with an expanded offering and a record number of cookies to give away.
