McDonald’s has a sweet new offering that will make fans of Oreos and pie rejoice.
The cookies & crème pie is the latest dessert innovation to come out of the fast food giant, PEOPLE can confirm. The treat combines chocolate sandwich cookie pieces, fluffy vanilla crème filling and a chocolate cookie crumb crust.
The warm, handheld snack is a regional item that will be available starting Friday for a limited time in select areas, including Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago and New York, per McDonald's USA.
The news comes days after McDonald’s announced that it’s phasing out its McCafé Bakery. The category's three items, the Apple Fritter, Blueberry Muffin and Cinnamon Roll, will be removed from the menu later this month.
"But fans can still satisfy their sweet tooth with our iconic Chocolate Chip Cookies, Baked Apple Pie and frozen desserts at restaurants nationwide," a spokesperson told PEOPLE in a statement Tuesday.
For those who prefer their Oreos with soft-serve, the chain still offers its popular Oreo McFlurry.
On Monday, McDonald's turned up the spice with a new cheesy jalapeño bacon quarter pounder, and on Wednesday, the brand introduced a cheesy jalapeño sausage egg McMuffin to its breakfast lineup in select markets.
McDonald's also recently made headlines with the Grimace Birthday Shake, a drink honoring the restaurant’s purple mascot, who recently turned 52 years old.
The limited-edition purple milkshake became available as part of Grimace's Birthday Meal on June 12, and inspired a TikTok trend that showed users creating mini horror movies inspired by the concoction.

McDonald's has a new Cookies & Crème Pie — but there's a catch. The Baked Apple Pie has some creamy, chocolaty competition. The Oreo McFlurry is about to get a new, piping-hot, cookies-and-cream-themed friend.
The mouthwatering pie combines everything we know and love about our favorite McDonald's dessert (a warm, delicious, sugar-coated, flaky crust) with a flavor we haven't tasted in a while: delicious strawberry filling and vanilla-flavored créme.
Made with guava filling and vanilla creme, wrapped in a freshly baked crust, the Guava and Creme Pie also appears to only be available in select markets.
24. But as it turns out, the extra-large burger isn't the only exciting item coming to the fast-food chain this month. McDonald's just quietly brought back its popular Strawberry & Crème Pie, the first addition to the chain's dessert lineup in 2024.
A sweet and creamy Strawberry & Crème Pie, made with strawberries and vanilla flavored crème, baked side by side in a sugar-coated flaky crust, of course.
McDonald's introduced its signature apple pie back in 1968, the same year the Big Mac debuted. Since then, there have been dozens of other flavors, from versions available year-round to seasonal specialties and one-offs that never returned.
Many pie fillings are made with a processed thickening agent that keeps the filling jelly-like and in place. But McDonald's uses a dehydrated apple powder. The powder not only thickens the filling, but it also adds that extra apple taste that you love.
The name comes from the process in which the spoon is attached to the McFlurry® mixer which is used to 'flurry' the ice cream and inclusions (and sauce if applicable) together, before being given to the customer.
The Festive pie was a festive apple pie, filled with mincemeat and custard. McDonald's aficionados have taken to social media to air their thoughts about the missing pie – and they aren't happy.
Bama has three production facilities in Tulsa and employs more than 800 people. Workers also produce seasonal pies such as holiday, strawberry and cream, cherry and cream and pumpkin. The sole producer of pies for McDonald's, Bama also makes biscuits and hotcakes for the food chain.
After years and years of McDonald's Cookies & Creme Pies being a sought after treat in countries like Malaysia and Germany, the pie is finally rolling out in the United States.
So what happened to the cookies? Unsurprisingly, the cookies disappeared in 2004, around the same time McDonald's introduced low-fat milk to address complaints about how many calories its meals contained.
McDonald's first introduced the Strawberry & Crème Pie in 2012 and it was available nationally until 2014. The fast food chain brought it back briefly in 2022 but only in the spring or winter and only at select locations, according to AllRecipes.com.
And then there's the long forgotten fried apple pie at McDonald's, which made the switch to baked in 1992 due to health reasons and has tasted inferior ever since. Unless you're over 40 and/or live in Hawaii (more on that soon), you've probably never tasted a McDonald's fried apple pie.
Our beloved McDonald's Fried Apple Pie was permanently removed from the regular menu for “health concerns.” The delicious fried pies were replaced with the baked scoundrels available today, even though those, too, were recently revamped.
