Cookie MADNESS: We're Finding the BEST Treat at Gideon's Bakehouse in Disney Springs

Okay, when it comes to Gideon’s Bakehouse, we all have some differing opinions.

We LOVE Gideon’s

With so many different cookie flavors to choose from, everyone is bound to have a favorite. So we decided to take 16 of the most popular Gideon’s cookies and pit them AGAINST each other in our new bracket and asked our readers to choose their favorites. Here are the results of round one!

First, we made you choose between Cookies and Cream and Chocolate Churro. Yes, we know this isn’t fair when both cookies are so wonderfully chocolatey, but you still had to choose just one.

Cookies and Cream vs. Chocolate Churro

This one was close, but Cookies and Cream won with 59% percent of the vote.

We also were COMPLETELY unfair in making you compare the Original Chocolate Chip with the Triple Chocolate Chip. Sorry, not sorry.

Now this one actually surprised us because Original Chocolate Chip won by a landslide with a whopping 79% of the vote! WOW! Y’all had some opinions on this choice.
