Every once in a while, a cookie comes along that demands its own immediate news post, and this — this is one such cookie. It’s from Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies, and it can only be found in one Disney World location: The Polite Pig.
Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies is Orlando famous, y’all, with lines out the door and cookies selling out rapidly every day. These cookies aren’t your grandma’s cookies (sorry, grandmas!) — they’re half-pound cookies packed with buttery, chocolate-y heaven.
The Polite Pig — which is itself part of a family-owned, superstar local restaurant company — is the only place you can get Gideon’s Bakehouse aside from the bakery’s location in downtown Orlando. With exclusivity like that, you know they’ve gotta be good!
And holy chocolate chips, Batman!
The half-pound cookie is dense, rich with butter and chocolate and a perfect cookie bite! Plus there are flakes of salt scattered on the top that elevate this to cookie levels unknown!
At present you can only find chocolate chip at this location, but once you try them, you won’t need anything else. (Although, you know, if they offer other varieties, we’ll eat those, too!)
Seriously, you’ve got to try these. At least one. Probably half a dozen, actually. And grab a few for us! I’ve already had two in 12 hours, so… .

Now that’s what the perfect chocolate chip cookie is supposed to look like!! Can’t wait to try one (or more) of those in September:) (Wish they had those available on the Disney Parks Shopping App:)
Leslie says
That looks deliciously obscene!
Terri says
How much is the cookie?

Quote: How much is the cookie?
Answer: not enough to stop me from getting a few on our next trip. ^^
dave says
Probably 4 snack credits lol!
Jean says
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! I am a HUGE fan of Gideon’s! I’m so glad that they’re partnering with Polite Pig, because it’s a lot easier for me to get to Disney Springs than to get to their location in Audubon Park. YAY!!! (Fingers crossed that Gideon’s cake slices will appear, too!)
Jill C says
Can you just walk into the Polite Pig and request a few of these to go or do you have to eat a meal there?
DFB Sarah says
Jill C.: You can pick some up to go! And we totally recommend it! 😉
DFB Sarah says
Jean, your lips to Disney food planners’ ears!
DFB Sarah says
Eric: Truth! But it’s $6.99 and completely worth it. (That’s saying something!)
Erica says
If you live in Orlando these same cookies are $5 at the actual bakery an there are more options!
Jeremy says
I was just there Sunday, and didn’t even see these! Ugh, no fair 🙁
Andrew says
Side topic: Is it just me or are the chocolate chip cookies found in the parks – the most bland cookies in the world?
Steph says
I like how the first person who commented on this was the owner of the bakeshop. They’re $4.99 at their shop, and naturally will be jacked up at Disney.
Diane says
Andrew – Nope, it’s not just you.
Rachel says
I visited the Polite Pig today only to find out that they ran out of this delicious looking cookie offering. I was advised to check back on Tuesday.
Garrett says
Plaese update your post. They only order about 20 cookies a day and they run out about 10-15 minutes after opening. Followers of DFB should not come to Polite Pig in hopes of getting one. I tried tonight and was very disappointed.
Foe. says
Just there 9/22/18
They are eight dollars now, it was approximately 12:30 PM and they had four left. Actually I don’t think they’re all that they’re cracked up to be sorry. I love a good chocolate chip cookie and I love cookie dough this just tasted I don’t know maybe frozen. You definitely have to split it. It’s just like thick cookie dough rolled in chocolate chips flattened out a bit. Sort of pasty and gummy.
Heidi says
I picked up this cookie on my way out of disney springs this weekend. It was WAY too sweet. I think if they made it with dark chocolate chips it would be better. The cookie dough was also grainy and not smooth. In my opinion, it was too expensive and I wouldn’t recommend.
Beth says
LOVE these cookies! FYI – Polite Pig only allows one per customer 🙁
Marc says
Love chocolate chip cookies, but after all the hype and a long line, was disappointed with these. Too much like cookie dough, and not enough baked cookie. But my kids really liked them
Carey says
Do they sell these at the counter? I walked in and there was no sign of them and no mention of them on the menu. I guess I came when they were sold out. 🙁
AJ says
Carey — Yes, they do. Likely sold out when you were there.
BigDizFan says
If they are constantly sold out, the store manager should be requesting or ordering more. Give the people what they want!
janine says
O asked for this cookie and They were really unpolite, like “which cookie?”. Don’t come Back.
