We like to think of chocolate chip cookie recipes as the gateway drug to the addictive world of lockdown baking. Most are fairly simple, require few ingredients and, once executed, give us the confidence boost we need to tackle sourdough, banana bread and other viral cooking trends.
Today we’re dealing you the grade-A, real-deal good stuff: Disney World’s chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s for the same confection sold at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in Orlando. If you haven’t had the pleasure of staying at the luxurious property, you might recognize it from hit sitcoms like Full House and Family Matters. It’s also home to a beautiful, Victorian-style café, which is where you’ll find these special cookies. The best part: they only call for nine ingredients so most of what you’ll need for them is likely already in your fridge and pantry.
This recipe follows a string of other big reveals on behalf of the Disney Parks blog, including how to make the iconic Dole Whip, the beloved churros and Hollywood Studio’s yummy grilled three-cheese sandwich. Now if someone would tell us how to make Epcot’s boozy Citron Slush, we might stand a chance against this record heat.
