Have you heard a little something about a legendary, seasonal Disney World treat made of pure gingerbread and caramel goodness?
The Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich is a limited-time treat typically available in EPCOT for the holiday season, but this year we noticed the cookie stuck around for a while after December. Initially, we were told that it would be gone from Disney World after February, but we have some BIG news about this popular treat!
Today in EPCOT, we visited Karamell-Kuche in the Germany pavilion, where we were expecting to find the Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich gone from the menu until the next holiday season. Instead, we found out from a Cast Member that one of our favorite Disney World snacks is so popular that Disney has officially added it to their year-round menu!
Although we were previously told that this cookie would not be around past February, it was still there today for $5.99, and now it will apparently be available at Karamell-Kuche all year! No more worrying about visiting Disney World for the holidays in order to satisfy your Gingerbread Cookie Sandwich craving.
This cookie is made of two gingerbread cookies with a buttercream frosting center and salted caramel drizzle. The gingerbread cookies are light and fluffy, and understand that this is a BIG treat! It’s very easy to share with others.
The ginger taste in this cookie is strong, so this is a treat made for gingerbread lovers. The buttercream frosting is thick and sweet, and if you’re like us you might wish there was a little less buttercream and more caramel, since the caramel is so decadent and delicious, and it provides a nice overall balance to the strong gingerbread flavor. We just love caramel!
Check out our video for a full look at this tasty cookie, and get excited because now you should be able to order it whenever you visit Disney World — regardless of the time of year! Any time of year is a good time for gingerbread and caramel, right?

Never, have I ever, been so excited by any other Disney announcement! That is by far the best gingerbread cookie on the planet. But, yes, it’s too rich to eat the whole thing at once so I suggest sharing or saving some for later. It’s beyond delicious.
Janet says
I’m so happy! This is a great treat.
