Do you think it’s a coincidence how National Cookie Day is right in the heart of the holiday season calendar? We’re not sure it really matters because having a special day to highlight some of the yummiest treats in the world is exactly what we need right now.

Some of the best places in the world to find some magical sweets are the Disney parks from around the world. Disney parks are known just as much for their delicious snacks and decadent meals such as Mickey Pretzels, Tonga Toast, and Dole Whips as they are for attractions such as Splash Mountain.

Well, our friends from Disney Parks have quite the gift to share with us for National Cookie Day (Dec. 4) and the holiday season: a collection of 10 of their best cookie recipes from Disney theme parks around the world.

Plus, there are a few extra special treats including an ice cream cookie sandwich, an enchanted Christmas tree made of macarons, and the holiday classic gingerbread cookie.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies From Disney’s Contemporary Resort Bakery

Tucked away in Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort is a bakery that creates fabulous snacks. They’ve even created a variation of the chocolate chip cookie that looks a little darker and a little more flavorful.

The secret ingredient? Whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. Whole wheat flour gives the cookies a deeper, nuttier flavor than the traditional recipe.

Molasses cookies are rich and warm — another treat that deserves to be at the top of the holiday charts.
