Where to Find the Best Cookies at Disney World
Looking for the best Disney World cookies? Find giant cookies, macarons, seasonal treats and more at the parks, resorts and Disney Springs.
Estimated reading time: 27 minutes
I didn’t think Disney World had that many cookies.
I was wrong.
Very, very wrong.
Once I actually started thinking about it, I realized there are cookies EVERYWHERE at Disney World.
There are cookies roughly the size of my head. There are Wookiee cookies. There are Mickey cookies. There are cookies themed to the Tower of Terror. There are French macarons, Moroccan cookies, caramel-covered cookies, gingerbread cookies, cookie bars, and apparently an entire EPCOT holiday activity devoted to walking around and eating cookies.
Disney takes its cookies seriously.
So clearly, we need to talk about this.
Unlike my guide to the best Disney World desserts, I’m not going to rank every cookie from #1 to #47.
For one thing, that would be impossible.
How am I supposed to objectively compare a giant half-pound Gideon’s cookie with a delicate French macaron or the Minnie Mouse gingerbread cookie I love getting at Animal Kingdom during Christmas?
They’re completely different things.
Instead, this is a guide to where to find the best and most interesting cookies at Disney World.
Some of these are specific cookies I’ve eaten and would absolutely order again. Others are bakery counters where the selection changes constantly, so my advice is basically: GO LOOK AT THE CASE.
And there are a couple of places I haven’t personally tried yet. I’ll tell you when that’s the case. This is a where-to-find-it guide, so I don’t want to leave out a legitimate Disney cookie destination just because I haven’t gotten around to eating there yet.
Clearly, I have work to do.
What Counts as a Cookie?
We’re going to be a little flexible here.
Traditional cookies?
Obviously.
Macarons?
Absolutely. They’re cookies.
Cookie bars and magic bars?
I’m counting them.
Gingerbread cookies?
Of course.
But I’m drawing the line somewhere.
Brownies are not cookies.
Cupcakes are not cookies.
Funnel cakes are definitely not cookies.
Mickey beignets are not cookies, no matter how desperately I want an excuse to talk about Mickey beignets again.
And baklava?
We’re not getting involved.
There are plenty of cookie-like sweets at Disney World that I’ll mention when they’re sitting in the same bakery case, but I’m not going to turn this into another general dessert guide.
If you want brownies, cakes, ice cream and all the other sugar bombs, go check out my Best Disney World Desserts guide.
Today we’re talking cookies.
And the obvious place to start is Disney Springs.
Where to Get Cookies at Disney Springs
If your primary Disney World goal is to find an amazing cookie, you could honestly skip the parks entirely and go to Disney Springs.
I’m kidding.
Mostly.
Disney Springs has two legitimate cookie destinations, and I’ve eaten at both of them.
They’re both fantastic.
And while one of them gets considerably more attention than the other, I don’t think you can go wrong with either one.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
Let’s get the obvious one out of the way.
Gideon’s Bakehouse.
These aren’t normal cookies.
They’re enormous.
They’re ridiculously thick.
They’re covered in chocolate chips and other toppings.
And one cookie could probably feed a small village.
Okay, maybe not.
But they’re huge.
Gideon’s is one of those Disney Springs places that became an attraction in its own right. Depending on when you visit, you may encounter a substantial line or even a virtual queue just to get inside.
And once you get inside, you’ll understand why people are intrigued.
The entire place feels like you’ve wandered into some weird Victorian gothic bakery where someone decided the appropriate amount of chocolate chips for one cookie was ALL OF THEM.
I’m here for it.
There are regular flavors plus limited-edition and rotating cookies, which means there’s usually something new to try even if you’ve been there before.
And yes, they’re really good.
They’re also incredibly rich.
This is not the cookie I’d buy and casually eat while walking through Disney Springs before dinner.
This is the cookie I’d buy, eat part of, and save the rest for later.
Or split it.
That’s probably the responsible answer.
I don’t always make responsible decisions around baked goods.
The Cookie Bar at Summer House on the Lake
Here’s the Disney Springs cookie stop that I think gets overshadowed by Gideon’s.
Do not overlook Summer House on the Lake.
The Cookie Bar is right there, and the cookies are fantastic.
Gideon’s gets all the social media attention because the cookies are enormous and the bakery itself is such an experience.
But if you tell me you don’t want to wait forever for Gideon’s?
I’m not going to feel remotely bad about sending you to Summer House.
You can find a rotating selection of freshly baked cookies, and these feel much more like really excellent versions of traditional cookies rather than the giant, almost cake-like creations at Gideon’s.
And honestly?
Sometimes that’s what I want.
I don’t always need a cookie that weighs approximately the same amount as a newborn Labrador.
Sometimes I just want a really, really good cookie.
Summer House delivers.
If you’re a serious cookie person and you have the stomach capacity, obviously the correct answer is to try both.
That’s research.
Where to Find Cookies at Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is almost the opposite of Hollywood Studios when it comes to cookies.
Hollywood Studios has a surprising number of very specific signature cookies.
Magic Kingdom?
There’s one place I’d tell you to start.
Main Street Confectionery
Main Street Confectionery is basically Magic Kingdom’s headquarters for Disney-themed sugar.
Candy.
Popcorn.
Rice crispy treats.
Caramel apples.
And, yes, cookies.
The important thing here is that I wouldn’t necessarily walk in looking for one particular cookie.
Look at the case.
That’s the strategy.
Disney rotates treats throughout the year, and Main Street Confectionery is one of the places where you’ll frequently find decorated Mickey cookies, seasonal cookies and other fun baked treats.
This is particularly true around the holidays.
Halloween?
Check the case.
Christmas?
Definitely check the case.
Disney loves taking an ordinary cookie, decorating it like a character, covering it in chocolate and sprinkles, and charging me significantly more money for it than any reasonable human being should pay for a cookie.
And apparently I keep encouraging this behavior.
Because they’re cute.
Seasonal Cookies at Magic Kingdom
This is actually something worth remembering throughout Magic Kingdom.
Some of the most interesting Disney cookies aren’t permanent menu items.
They’re seasonal.
Halloween and Christmas are particularly dangerous because suddenly every bakery case has Mickey-shaped gingerbread and elaborately decorated cookies staring back at you.
So if you’re visiting during a holiday season, don’t rely entirely on a list you read six months before your trip.
Look around.
Check Main Street Confectionery.
Check the treat cases.
See what Disney has invented this week.
Sometimes that’s where you’ll find the best stuff.
Where to Get Cookies at Hollywood Studios
Okay.
Apparently Hollywood Studios has chosen cookies as its food personality.
I didn’t realize this until I started putting this guide together, but there are a ridiculous number of distinctive cookies in this park.
And unlike Magic Kingdom, where my advice is mostly to see what’s currently in the confectionery case, Hollywood Studios has several specific cookies worth hunting down.
Wookiee Cookie – Backlot Express
Let’s start with one of the most Disney cookies on the list.
The Wookiee Cookie.
This is basically a giant oatmeal cookie sandwich filled with vanilla cream and decorated with a chocolate sash to make it look like Chewbacca.
It’s ridiculous.
I mean that as a compliment.
This is exactly the kind of food I want Disney to make.
Take something familiar.
Make it enormous.
Theme it to a beloved character.
Add frosting.
Done.
And it’s substantial.
Calling this “a cookie” almost undersells what you’re getting because it’s really more of a full-blown cookie sandwich dessert.
If you like oatmeal cookies, definitely put this one on your Hollywood Studios snack radar.
Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie
Then there’s the classic.
The Jack-Jack Num Num Cookie is pretty much what happens when somebody decides a chocolate chip cookie isn’t good enough unless it’s enormous, warm and packed with chocolate.
This is probably one of the most straightforward cookies in this entire guide.
There’s no bizarre flavor combination.
There’s no caramel coating.
It’s not pretending to be Chewbacca.
It’s just a giant chocolate chip cookie.
And sometimes that’s exactly what you want.
The fact that it’s served warm certainly doesn’t hurt.
If someone asked me to picture a quintessential Disney theme park cookie, this is probably the one that would come to mind.
Carrot Cake Cookie – Trolley Car Café
The Carrot Cake Cookie.
Calling it a cookie is honestly a little generous because this thing is basically two soft pieces of carrot cake sandwiched around a generous layer of cream cheese icing.
But Disney calls it a cookie.
Therefore, for purposes of this article, we’re calling it a cookie.
I’m not fighting Disney on this one.
If you like carrot cake and cream cheese frosting, this is a fun alternative to the chocolate-heavy cookies you’ll find elsewhere in Hollywood Studios.
And because Trolley Car Café is the Starbucks location on Hollywood Boulevard, it’s an easy place to stop when you’re coming into the park.
Coffee plus carrot cake cookie?
That seems like a perfectly reasonable Disney breakfast to me.
I make no nutritional claims.
Don’t Ignore the Joffrey’s Cookies
And then there are the Joffrey’s carts.
This is another thing I think people overlook.
Most people walk up to Joffrey’s thinking about coffee.
I certainly do.
But LOOK AT THE PASTRY CASE.
Depending on the location and current offerings, you can find Disney-themed cookies that you won’t necessarily see anywhere else.
I’ve had both the Tower of Terror Cookie and the Play-Doh Cookie, and this is exactly the kind of silly themed Disney food I enjoy.
The Tower of Terror version is especially fun because it actually ties into the attraction right there at Hollywood Studios.
The Play-Doh Cookie is colorful and ridiculous.
Neither one needs to be the greatest cookie ever baked for me to enjoy them.
They’re fun.
And that’s enough.
Just remember that Joffrey’s specialty cookies can change, so don’t necessarily assume the exact cookie I ate will still be waiting for you when you visit.
Instead, remember the rule:
Look at the case.
Honestly, that may end up being the unofficial motto of this entire guide.
My Hollywood Studios Cookie Pick
This one’s hard because they’re all so different.
If you want a classic cookie, get the Jack-Jack Num Num Cookie.
If you want something that feels particularly Disney, I’d go Wookiee Cookie.
And if you love carrot cake?
You already know what to do.
But the bigger takeaway is that Hollywood Studios is bizarrely good for cookie hunting.
Who knew?
Apparently Hollywood Studios did.
Where to Get Cookies at EPCOT
And now we get to EPCOT.
Which, unsurprisingly, has a lot going on.
But EPCOT’s cookie situation is completely different from Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Studios has very Disney-ish cookies. Wookiees. Tower of Terror. Play-Doh. Giant chocolate chip cookies.
EPCOT has actual bakeries from around the world.
So instead of hunting down one specific Mickey-shaped cookie, this is where I want to wander into a bakery and see what looks good.
And apparently I do that a lot.
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie – France Pavilion
I feel like Les Halles shows up in approximately every Disney food guide I write.
There’s a reason for that.
I love this place.
There are sandwiches. There are pastries. There’s bread. There are desserts. And yes, there are cookies.
But for purposes of this guide, let’s talk about the macarons.
And before somebody comes after me:
Macarons are cookies.
Fancy French cookies, but cookies nonetheless.
I’ve tried several of the macarons at Les Halles over the years, including the Macaron Framboise et Citron Vert, which is raspberry and lime and made my list of favorite Disney World snacks.
There are usually multiple flavors available, and they’re one of my favorite little treats to grab when I’m in the France Pavilion.
They’re also considerably easier to eat than some of the gigantic cookies elsewhere on this list.
Nobody needs to split a macaron four ways.
Although I suppose you could.
I wouldn’t.
And while you’re at Les Halles, look at everything else in the case too.
This is dangerous advice.
But you’re welcome.
Karamell-Küche – Germany Pavilion
If you want your cookie covered in caramel, Disney has a place for that.
Of course they do.
Karamell-Küche in the Germany Pavilion is basically a store devoted to answering the question:
What else can we put caramel on?
Cookies?
Absolutely.
Popcorn?
Obviously.
Apples?
Yep.
Brownies?
Sure.
Basically, if something can reasonably—or unreasonably—be covered in caramel, there’s a decent chance you’ll find a version of it here.
I’ve had several treats from Karamell-Küche, and this is another place where I don’t think you should necessarily walk in determined to find one exact cookie.
Look at the case.
See what’s there.
I’ve had the Caramel Turtle, which isn’t technically a cookie and therefore doesn’t get its own entry here, but it gives you a pretty good idea of why I keep coming back to this place.
Chocolate + caramel + whatever else they’ve decided to throw together?
I’m listening.
If you’re specifically cookie hunting, look for the caramel cookies and cookie bars currently available.
And if you accidentally leave with caramel popcorn too?
These things happen.
Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe – Norway Pavilion
Kringla is another EPCOT bakery where my basic advice is:
Go inside.
Look around.
Make good decisions.
Or bad decisions.
Whatever.
You’re at Disney World.
The Norway Pavilion bakery has a rotating assortment of Scandinavian-inspired pastries and baked goods, including cookies and cookie-like treats.
And this is another reason I don’t want this article tied too tightly to one specific menu item.
Bakery cases change.
Seasonal treats show up.
Things disappear.
If I tell you that one particular cookie is THE reason to go to Kringla, there’s a decent chance Disney will discontinue it approximately twelve minutes after I hit publish.
Instead, this is one of the EPCOT bakeries I’d check whenever I’m wandering World Showcase and want something sweet.
Sunshine Seasons – The Land Pavilion
Sunshine Seasons is probably not the first place you’d think of when I say “Disney World cookies.”
But don’t ignore that dessert case.
I’ve had the Minnie Mouse Lemon Macaron, which is exactly the kind of Disney dessert that makes this guide fun.
It’s cute.
It’s colorful.
It’s a macaron.
It’s shaped like Minnie.
Done.
Now, this particular treat may not be around forever, and that’s okay.
The larger point is that Sunshine Seasons regularly has interesting desserts and bakery treats worth checking out.
And since we’re standing here staring at the case anyway…
Get the Turtle Brownie.
No, it’s not a cookie.
I know what article we’re writing.
I’m telling you to get it anyway.
We can all survive this minor violation of the rules.
Oasis Sweets & Sips – Morocco Pavilion
This one deserves more attention than I originally planned to give it.
Because Oasis Sweets & Sips isn’t merely a place where you can get baklava and a few vaguely cookie-adjacent pastries.
There are actual cookies here.
And they’re different from almost everything else in this guide.
You’ll find Moroccan and Mediterranean sweets such as ghriba, crescent-shaped cookies and other small pastries, with selections that can vary.
This is exactly the kind of World Showcase snacking I love.
I don’t necessarily want to travel around EPCOT eating the same chocolate chip cookie in six different countries.
Give me something different.
And Oasis Sweets & Sips does that.
You can grab an assortment and try several things instead of committing to one giant dessert, which also makes this a fun option to share.
And yes, there is baklava.
Is baklava a cookie?
No.
Probably.
Definitely not.
We’re still not litigating this.
Eat it if you want it.
Bonus: The EPCOT Holiday Cookie Stroll
Okay, this obviously has to be included.
Because Disney has an actual event where the entire point is essentially:
Go eat cookies around EPCOT.
During the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, Disney typically offers the Holiday Cookie Stroll.
Participating festival kitchens sell designated cookies, and you collect stamps as you make your way around the park trying them.
Eat enough cookies, collect the required stamps, and you can earn a completion treat.
This is not an everyday EPCOT activity, obviously.
It’s seasonal.
The cookies can change from year to year.
And yes, technically this is festival food, which I have repeatedly tried to keep separate from these evergreen dining guides.
But COME ON.
It’s a Cookie Stroll.
How could I write an entire guide to Disney World cookies and not tell you about the thing where Disney literally encourages you to walk around EPCOT eating cookies?
If you’re visiting during Festival of the Holidays, absolutely look up that year’s Cookie Stroll.
This is one case where I am enthusiastically breaking my own festival-food rule.
Where to Get Cookies at Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom doesn’t have the sheer number of cookie options you’ll find at Hollywood Studios or EPCOT.
But it has one of my favorite places to look for Disney-themed treats.
And if you’re visiting at Christmas?
I have a very specific recommendation.
Zuri’s Sweet Shop
Zuri’s Sweet Shop is basically Animal Kingdom’s version of Main Street Confectionery.
And I think people overlook it.
It’s a store, yes.
But there’s also a whole case filled with Disney-themed treats, candy, cookies and seasonal goodies.
This is another LOOK AT THE CASE location.
Especially around holidays.
One of my absolute favorites is the Minnie Mouse Gingerbread Cookie they offer around Christmas.
I love this thing.
It’s cute, obviously.
But more importantly, it’s actually a really good gingerbread cookie.
That’s an important distinction because Disney is very good at making food adorable.
Adorable does not always mean delicious.
This one manages both.
And Zuri’s tends to have other seasonal items throughout the year, so even if you’re not visiting at Christmas, I’d still poke your head inside and see what’s available.
Honestly, if you’re a Disney snack person, you should be doing that anyway.
Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery
Then there’s Kusafiri.
And the Eight-Layer Magic Bar.
This is where we’re stretching the cookie definition again.
But I’m counting magic bars.
They live in the cookie-bar universe, and that’s good enough for me.
This thing is loaded.
You’ve got layers of sweet, chewy, chocolatey goodness packed into one little bar that is considerably more substantial than it looks.
And this is exactly the kind of dessert I like grabbing when I don’t necessarily want to sit down for anything.
Get one.
Find somewhere to sit.
Enjoy your sugar.
Continue with Animal Kingdom.
Simple.
My Animal Kingdom Cookie Pick
For sheer variety, Zuri’s Sweet Shop wins.
Especially if you’re visiting during a holiday season.
But if that Minnie Gingerbread Cookie is sitting in the case at Christmas?
That’s what I’m getting.
Every time.
Where to Find Cookies at Disney World Resorts
Here’s where I don’t want to turn this guide into a giant list of resort food courts.
Because yes.
You can find a chocolate chip cookie at a lot of Disney resorts.
That’s not particularly helpful.
What IS helpful is knowing that some of the resort bakery cases are surprisingly good.
Particularly at the deluxe resorts.
If you’re staying at one—or visiting one for dinner—take five seconds and look at the dessert case in the quick-service restaurant.
Disney puts some really fun seasonal treats in these locations, and they don’t always get the same attention as park snacks.
The Cake Bake Shop Bakery – Disney’s BoardWalk
This is the big exception to my “I’m not listing every resort cookie” rule.
Because The Cake Bake Shop Bakery is an actual bakery destination.
And I need to be very clear here:
I haven’t eaten here yet.
So I’m not going to tell you that the chocolate chip cookie is life-changing or that you absolutely need to order one particular thing.
I don’t know yet.
But leaving The Cake Bake Shop out of a guide about where to find cookies at Disney World would be ridiculous.
The bakery offers cookies and bars along with French macarons and, of course, all the cakes and other desserts you’d expect from a place literally called The Cake Bake Shop.
So yes, it belongs on the cookie itinerary.
I just apparently need to go conduct some research.
It’s a burden.
The Mara – Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
The Mara is another resort location worth knowing about.
And unlike my original instinct to start talking about Zebra Domes and Nala Brownies…
Those aren’t cookies.
I have regained control of this article.
The Mara actually has cookie options, including themed and more traditional choices.
And because this is Animal Kingdom Lodge, you also have the enormous advantage of being at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Get a cookie.
Go look at giraffes.
That’s a pretty solid afternoon.
And yes, while you’re there, get Zebra Domes too.
Still not cookies.
Still delicious.
Check the Resort Bakery Cases
This is really my biggest resort tip.
Look at the bakery case.
I’ve seen great seasonal treats at Wilderness Lodge.
Gasparilla Island Grill at the Grand Floridian is another place where I’d absolutely check what’s currently available.
And you’ll find rotating desserts at other resort quick-service locations too.
Would I take three buses and a boat across Disney World because somebody told me a resort food court has a chocolate chip cookie?
No.
But if I’m already there?
I’m looking.
Especially at Halloween and Christmas.
Disney cannot resist a seasonal cookie.
And apparently neither can I.
Don’t Forget the Basic Disney Cookie
We’ve spent this entire guide talking about enormous cookies, French macarons, Moroccan cookies, Wookiee cookies and cookies covered in enough chocolate chips to feed a small army.
But sometimes you just want a chocolate chip cookie.
Disney World has those too.
You’ll find basic cookies in quick-service restaurants, resort food courts, coffee shops and grab-and-go cases all over Disney World.
Some are Mickey-shaped.
Some are decorated.
Some are packaged.
Some are basically just normal chocolate chip or sugar cookies.
And no, I don’t think you need to build your Disney World itinerary around one.
But if your kid announces at 3:17 p.m. that the ONLY acceptable snack in the entire Walt Disney World Resort is a chocolate chip cookie?
You’re probably going to be okay.
One place where I especially recommend checking is Trolley Car Café at Hollywood Studios, where you’ll often find Disney-themed baked goods along with all the regular Starbucks options.
And once again, don’t just order your coffee and leave.
Look at the case.
Apparently that really is the theme of this entire article.
So Where Should You Get Cookies at Disney World?
After going through all of this, I think my biggest realization is that there isn’t one single place I’d declare the “best” place for cookies at Disney World.
They’re too different.
If you want a giant, ridiculously decadent cookie, that’s one thing.
If you want a macaron in France, that’s another.
If you’re at Disney World during Christmas and Minnie Mouse is staring at you from inside a gingerbread cookie case, that’s an entirely different situation.
But if you want the short version, here’s where I’d start.
At Disney Springs: Gideon’s Bakehouse and Summer House on the Lake. Honestly, do both. Gideon’s gets considerably more hype, but I think Summer House deserves to be in the conversation.
At Magic Kingdom: Main Street Confectionery. Don’t go looking for one particular cookie. Go see what’s in the case.
At Hollywood Studios: This park is apparently Cookie World. The Wookiee Cookie and Jack-Jack Num Num Cookie are the obvious places to start, but don’t forget the Carrot Cake Cookie or the themed cookies at Joffrey’s.
At EPCOT: I have a hard time choosing one because the whole point is variety. Get a French macaron at Les Halles. Go see what Karamell-Küche has covered in caramel. Try something completely different at Oasis Sweets & Sips. And if you’re there during Festival of the Holidays, obviously do the Cookie Stroll.
At Animal Kingdom: Zuri’s Sweet Shop, especially during the holidays. That Minnie Mouse Gingerbread Cookie gets me every time.
At the resorts: Don’t go resort hopping just because I told you somebody has a chocolate chip cookie. But if you’re already visiting a deluxe resort, check the bakery case. And if you’re at the BoardWalk, The Cake Bake Shop is an actual cookie-and-bakery destination worth knowing about.
Which Disney World Cookies Would I Personally Get Again?
This isn’t a ranking.
I mean it.
I’m not going to suddenly turn this into a Top 10 list at the very end.
But there are definitely some cookies and cookie stops that stand out to me personally.
Gideon’s? Absolutely.
Summer House on the Lake? Yep.
Wookiee Cookie? Definitely.
Jack-Jack Num Num Cookie? Yes.
Macarons at Les Halles? Always.
Something caramel-covered from Karamell-Küche? I don’t even need to know what it is yet.
The Minnie Mouse Gingerbread Cookie from Zuri’s at Christmas?
Hand it over.
And that’s really how I approach Disney food in general.
I don’t need every single thing to be THE BEST DISNEY COOKIE EVER.
Sometimes I want the thing that’s fun.
Sometimes I want the thing I can’t easily get at home.
Sometimes I want to walk into a bakery in World Showcase and pick whatever looks good.
And sometimes I want a cookie the size of my face.
Disney World can accommodate all of these needs.
Final Thoughts on Disney World Cookies
When I started putting this guide together, I genuinely thought this was going to be a pretty short post.
Gideon’s.
Summer House.
A few park cookies.
Done.
And then I started remembering things.
Oh yeah, the Wookiee Cookie.
And Jack-Jack.
And the Carrot Cake Cookie.
And the Joffrey’s cookies.
And macarons.
And caramel cookies.
And Zuri’s.
And then I remembered that Disney has an ENTIRE COOKIE STROLL at EPCOT during the holidays.
Okay then.
Apparently Disney World has a lot of cookies.
The good news is that you don’t have to track down every single one.
This is not Pokémon.
You don’t have to catch them all.
Pick the ones that sound good to you.
If you’re already at Disney Springs, absolutely investigate Gideon’s and Summer House.
If you’re walking around Hollywood Studios, embrace the fact that you have a bizarre number of cookies at your disposal.
If you’re in World Showcase, skip the basic chocolate chip cookie and try something you can’t get everywhere else.
And if you’re visiting during Christmas?
Look.
At.
The.
Bakery.
Cases.
Seriously.
Some of my favorite Disney treats have been seasonal things I stumbled across because I walked into a shop to see what was there.
Which is probably the best advice I can give you for Disney World cookies in general.
Have a plan.
Know where the really good cookie stops are.
But leave yourself enough room to spot something ridiculous in a bakery case and say:
Yep. I’m eating that.
Keep Planning Your Disney World Dining
If you’re now craving something besides cookies—or you just want to keep planning everything you’re going to eat at Disney World—I have plenty more opinions. Here are a few places to start:
Best Disney World Desserts – Cookies are great, but they’re definitely not the only desserts worth saving room for. These are my 15 favorite Disney World desserts, including Mickey beignets, Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake, ridiculous sundaes, macarons, and my beloved Pineapple Upside-Down Cake.
Where to Get Ice Cream and Frozen Treats at Disney World – Need something cold instead? Here’s where to find Dole Whip, ice cream, gelato, sundaes, frozen drinks, and other icy treats throughout the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs.
Best Disney World Snacks – If you’d rather have a little bit of everything, start here. These are my favorite Disney World snacks across all four parks, the resorts, and Disney Springs.
Best Savory Snacks at Disney World – Had enough sugar? I get it. These are my favorite salty and savory Disney snacks, including several that are substantial enough to double as a light meal.
Best Disney World Quick-Service Restaurants – When the cookie the size of your head doesn’t technically qualify as lunch, these are my favorite places to grab a great Disney meal without a table-service reservation.
Best Disney World Restaurants – Want to zoom all the way out? This is my guide to my favorite restaurants at Disney World and a great place to start planning where you actually want to eat on your trip.
