Gallery: I produced Disney’s huge chocolate-chip Num Num Cookies, and they’re so good I will be baking them all over again (INSIDER)
![Tarah Chieffi holding a donut: Disney recently released recipes for 10 of its most popular cookies for National Cookie Day on December 4. One of the recipes was for Disney's Jack-Jack Num Num Cookies, based on the cookies Baby Jack-Jack loved in the movie "Incredibles 2." I've had the cookies at Disneyland and Disney World before, and I made them at home to see how they match up to the real thing. The cookies are so large that they look more like cupcakes, but most of the ingredients are the same ones you'd use in any chocolate-chip cookie recipe. Everything tastes better at Disney, but, until my next trip, I'll be making these again and again. Visit Insider's homepage for more stories. As someone who grew up in Florida and now makes a living writing about theme parks, I spend quite a bit of time at Disney World. Before every trip, I spend an excessive amount of time planning which treats I want to try. One of my favorites is Disney's spin on a classic chocolate chip cookie: the Num Num Cookie. If you've ever seen Disney/Pixar's "Incredibles 2", you might remember the giant chocolate-chip cookies that were used to pacify baby Jack-Jack and his unpredictable super powers. Along with the premiere of "Incredibles 2", the cookies made their debut at Disneyland's Pixar Pier in 2018 and showed up at Disney World's Hollywood Studios in 2019.The cookies are unlike any others I've ever tried. The huge, cupcake-like cookies are packed with chocolate chunks and served up warm and fresh. To celebrate National Cookie Day (my new favorite holiday) on December 4, Disney released 10 cookie recipes from its parks, including the recipe for Jack-Jack's Num Num Cookies. I tested the recipe to see how it compares to the iconic treat from the Disney parks.Read the original article on Insider](https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/recipes/the-fudgy-snacking-cake-that-won-your-hearts-26-our-recipe-contest/"default":"load":"default","w":"80","h":"60","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1c9xDo.img?h=601&w=799&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=757&y=228","size3column":"load":"default","w":"62","h":"47","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1c9xDo.img?h=470&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=757&y=228","size2column":"load":"default","w":"62","h":"47","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1c9xDo.img?h=470&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=757&y=228")
