Neither the chocolate cookies nor the strawberry pie is on sale today. I won't buy any of them today. (My bold)

Can I use "either" instead of "any" in the above quotation?

No, use "any" with the negative.

You've mentioned just two items - chocolate cookies and strawberry pie so "either" is the correct option.

Neither of them is on sale so I won't buy either of them.
