I haven't seen a cookie in ages - gone are the days of Continental's famous and very delicious soups and pre-arrival freshly baked cookie.

Prior to the 1Q18 cuts, the fresh-baked (or warmed) cookie was the arrival service for some midcons (others were ice cream/sorbet), all transcons, and p.s. flights.

Old TCON was sorbet (lunch) or ice cream (dinner) for dessert and cookie on arrival. New service is ice cream (both, and less flavor rotation) for dessert, and a mixed bag on arrival - I've had nothing, Polaris tarts, and rumors of a cookie in the last 18 months.
Old midcon was ice cream or cookie (depending on division) for dessert, new midcon is cheesecake.

Yeah, old p.s. was sundae for dessert and cookie on arrival... new p.s. is sundae for dessert and some wrap thing instead (have not flown p.s. since the cuts actually).

Given that the flight is usually blocked for 8-9 hours (including the time change) and if you add travel time on both ends, I'm not really disappointed to have a modest snack on arrival from an eastbound transcon flight that ate 11 hours of my day.

Do they serve anything in E+ / Economy Plus on Premium Service red eyes other than a drink service and a choice of package snack?

At any rate, if you count the time change, the westbound is only 3 hours.
And you can always pick up a cookie at the airport at either origin or destination.
There's no reason to serve two desserts on a domestic flight.

5:20 PM departure. App indicated dinner, which surprised me.
Apparently surprised the catering department as well...
I thought the salt and pepper packet was a nice touch.
