10 cookie recipes from Disney parks around the world
It's National Cookie Day, and to celebrate, Disney Parks has released ten cookie recipes straight from some of the theme parks and resorts that help Mickey Mouse make magic.
From Disneyland Paris to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and everywhere in between, the blog asked chefs from Disney properties around the world to share their favorite cookie recipes, and the result is a list of delicious baked treats that can both enjoyed inside a Disney Park and baked in your own kitchen.
The list includes standard park favorites like Hollywood Studios' Num Num Cookies, spectacular deep-dish chocolate chip cookies inspired by baby Jack-Jack from "The Incredibles." Seasonal treats, like the Spaceship Earth Cookie with Salted Caramel Ganache — available for a limited time at Epcot's International Festival of the Holidays — make the list as well.
Karen McClintock, the food and beverage content relations manager for Disney Parks and Resorts, compiled the list, encouraging readers to "bake some Disney magic at home" today with the recipes.
"But feel free to celebrate National Cookie Day every day," McClintock wrote in the post, "I do!"
