Num Num Cookies from Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Makes 9 large cookies

©Disney Parks Blog

NOTE: This is our own copycat recipe from DFB! Check out the original post here.

Ingredients Necessary:

  • 1 Cup (2 Sticks) Butter at Room Temperature
  • 1 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1 Tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 1/4 Cups Flour
  • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips (we used a whole 12oz bag)

Num Num Cookie

Directions for Baking:

  1. Brown the butter on medium heat. The butter will foam up, but once the foam subsides, you should notice a toasty and nutty smell.
  2. Remove the butter from the heat once the milk solids at the bottom start to turn the color of graham cracker crumbs. Try not to let the butter burn at this stage, then pour it into a container to cool.
  3. Cool the butter completely. If necessary, put it in the fridge. This step is crucial to the consistency of the cookie dough.
  4. Add brown sugar, sugar, and cooled butter to a mixer and beat until fluffy. This may take about 8 minutes.
  5. Once the sugar and butter mixture is aerated, add your egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix together.
  6. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda and mix until the flour is incorporated. Don’t over-mix here, because you could end up with tough cookies.
  7. Add in your chocolate chips and mix again.
  8. If you’re using paper cookie wrappers for the authentic experience, then place them on your baking sheet and scoop the dough in, smashing it out evenly in the wrapper. If not, scoop the dough onto the baking sheet directly.
  9. Add chocolate chips/chunks on top if desired.
  10. Chill the cookies for a few hours. Overnight is best, if you can manage that.
  11. Bake at 350 until the cookies start to puff and get browned at the edges. (Took about 18 minutes for us.)
  12. If you’d like, add sea salt to the top for a little extra kick, and enjoy!
