We love the delicious flavor of The Incredibles’ inspired Jack Jack Num Num cookies.
This cookie is great to share while waiting in line or sitting on a park bench in a Disney Park. Our family enjoyed one at Disneyland over spring break. The cookie stand was on Pixar Pier between the Incredicoaster and Jessie’s Critter Carousel. If you are at Walt Disney World, you can find this same cookie in Hollywood Studios at The Market near the entrance to Toy Story Land.
This warm, gooey cookie can’t only be a Disney Park treat – it had to be an anytime treat. While looking at all the Jack Jack Num Num cookie recipes out there, I noticed most were focused on replicating the flavor and size. At home, I was on a mission to create a cookie smaller with the same texture and taste.
Secret ingredient – brown butter! The brown butter is truly the corner stone flavor of the Jack Jack Num Num cookie. The nutty, rich almost caramel like flavor that the brown butter brings is the key to this copy. For most, browning butter isn’t easy. In one of many attempts, my brown butter went to burnt butter in a blink of an eye. How to make brown butter? https://www.landolakes.com/recipe/16716/browned-butter/
The battle of the chips – the Disney Park cookie is packed with chocolate chunks. The chocolate chunks were too big for my smaller cookie. Both chocolate chunks AND mini chocolate chips are used in this recipe.
Size matters – the original cookie and most other copycat recipes use a 3.5-inch baking liner which includes 3 scoops of cookie dough. To get the same crispy edges in a smaller cookie, a cupcake pan with liners are used with only 1 scoop of cookie dough. The standard medium sized cookie scoop is what I use and recommend for ease.
