Let Every Day be National Cookie Day With These Cookies in Walt Disney World

Did you know that today, December 4, is National Cookie Day? The sweet treat came to America in the 1620’s, through the Dutch from New Amsterdam. Many different types of cookies are enjoyed throughout the world, including ingredients such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, and nuts. Cookies can be served chewy or crumbly and come in many different flavors, including chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, oatmeal raisin, sugar, and shortbread, to name but a few.

National Cookie Day has got us thinking about the best cookies available around the Walt Disney World Resort. Here’s the list of cookies we love to indulge in during a Disney vacation!
