Thanks!
"Midcon" is a bit of a blurry word. If I have my flight lengths correctly, flights that have no "snack window" in the middle of the day get a sorbet if catered with Lunch and ice cream (slash gelato) with Dinner, where limited toppings are offered. This is "longer" midcons as well as non-p.s. transcons. Transcons (those with 3 meal options) also get the cookie on arrival.

Shorter midcons (two meals but flight may have a snack window) just get the cookie.

For example, when flying SFO-IAH-LGA, SFO-IAH had sorbet (lunch flight) and IAH-LGA had only the cookie (dinner flight). Both however had 2 meal options drawn from the same pool of "midcon meals" (different options though for eastern and western division).
