The recipe brings that same magical feeling you get walking through Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, but straight to your kitchen. Perfect with a glass of milk or as a treat to share, these cookies let you enjoy a taste of Disney anytime you want!
At the Grand Floridian, they have the most amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are one of the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had! Disney released the recipe a few years ago, and I am sharing it with you down below.
A couple of tips I have for making these cookies are to make sure to measure your ingredients exactly and whip the butter and sugars until they are very creamy, before adding the dry ingredients. Also, add more chocolate chips! I did 1 ½ bags and it was perfect.
Cookie Ingredients
*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Softened Butter: Adds richness and helps create that soft, chewy texture. You can use margarine, but butter gives the best flavor.
- All-Purpose Flour: The foundation of the cookies, giving them structure. Substitute with gluten-free flour if needed for a GF version.
- Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise slightly, creating a soft and chewy texture.
- Salt: Enhances the overall flavor and balances the sweetness.
- Brown Sugar: Adds moisture and a hint of molasses for chewiness. For a deeper flavor, you can use dark brown sugar.
- Powdered Sugar: Gives the cookies a tender texture by adding a bit of melt-in-your-mouth quality.
- Eggs: Binds the ingredients together and helps with structure and moisture.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and a hint of sweetness to complement the chocolate flavor.
- Chocolate Chips: The star of the show! Semi-sweet is classic, but feel free to mix in milk or dark chocolate chips, or even chunks for extra texture.

I think the cornstarch in the powdered sugar may be the secret ingredient here. I have seen other soft chocolate chip cookie recipes that call for instant pudding. Main ingredients are sugar and cornstarch. Thanks!

So weird, I'm an experienced cookie baker and mine came out cakey and looking nothing like all the pics I've seen. On the official Disney recipe it says "10 Tablespoons (1 and 1/4 sticks) of butter" BUT 1 1/4 sticks of butter=12 tablespoons. I went with 10 and maybe that's why they are cakey instead of crispy and flatter. Which did you use? I want to love them so I'll try again.

I counted wrong, sorry, please delete my previous comment. 1 1/4 sticks is 10 T. but my cookies still came out cakey. Thank you anyway.
