Gideon’s Bakehouse Sprinkle Funfetti Cookies

These giant Sprinkle Funfetti Cookies are inspired by Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs. Over sized cookies loaded with sprinkles. 

Disney-inspired treats are the best!

You all know I love DISNEY!!!! I love the parks, the rides, the food, and especially the snacks!!!! So when Gideon’s Bakehouse opened in Disney Springs I just HAD to try them!

They are amazing cookies, that some people will wait in line for hours to get!

Well if you know me, you know I had to try to MAKE them as well!

I was planning on making these Sprinkle Funfetti White Chocolate Chip Cookies, so I decided to turn them into my own version of a Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie!

How to make these Gideon’s Bakehouse Copycat Cookies:

Making cookies are super fun and easy to make. These Sprinkle Funfetti Gideon’s Bakehouse Copycat cookies are a tad tougher to make, just cause the recipe is unique. Do not fret though as I am going to walk you through this, and you can make these wonderful cookies very easily!

The main thing to remember is when making these large “1/2” pound cookies, this recipe is not going to make your usual 2 dozen cookies. This recipe will make 6 cookies, and that is cause we are going to make these huge!

Ingredient Notes:

Butter, unsalted (cold and cubed)

Brown sugar

White sugar

Eggs

Vanilla extract

Cake Flour

All-purpose flour

Salt

Baking soda

Funfetti White Chocolate Chips

Rainbow Sprinkles (variety of kinds)

 

Directions:

Step One – Preheat over to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step Two – Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer mix the butter and sugar together on low for about 30-45 seconds. Once they start to blend, turn the mixer up to medium and mix for about 4 minutes until fluffy.

• Tip: Using cold butter is best for these cookies as the butter will not spread or separate as quickly during the baking process. We want these cookies to be thick and dense.

Step Three – Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.

Step Four – In a separate bowl sift together Cake flour and All-purpose flour. Once sifted and mixed together add in salt and baking soda. Slowly add the flour mix to the batter. Mix on low until combined, but be careful not to over mix the dough.

• FAQ – The dough will be crumbly due to using the cold butter. This is what you want for a good think cookie.

Step Five – Add the Funfetti White Chocolate chips, and mix well into the dough.

 

Step Six – Cover the dough and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

• Tip: Cold dough is best for thick cookies. This will allow the cookie to not separate and spread out as much during baking.

Step Seven – Separate the dough into 6 equal-sized balls.

Step Eight – In a large bowl that can fit one ball, mix all your sprinkles. I said get a variety of rainbow-colored sprinkles as you want this to be super fun and colorful! I used rainbow sprinkles or jimmies as some call them, and ball sprinkles. Throw some extra Funfetti Chips in there too if you got them!

Step Nine – Roll one cookie ball into the sprinkles until it is fully covered on the sides and top. You may have to use your hands to press them in the dough a little as well. This is also super fun!

• Tip: Try not to allow the bottom of the cookie to get covered in sprinkles or extra chips. This cookie is cooked at a high temperature and the candy sprinkles on the bottom may burn quicker due to the sugars on the baking sheet. Parchment paper will help a little, so don’t be worried if some sprinkles are on the bottom.

Step Ten – Place on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes. Gideon’s Bakehouse serves a cookie that has a semi-raw cookie dough middle. If you want your cookies fully cooked 18-22 minutes should do the trick!

Step Eleven – Cool for 5 mins, then place on a cookie rack to fully cool, or serve warm!

Tips for making these Gideon’s Bakehouse Copycat Cookies:

1. Don’t be shy on the Funfetti Chips and Sprinkles! Have fun, and use more if you feel like it! These cookies are made to be huge! I had two types of sprinkles on hand when I made these, but you can use more if you want! Make sure you press them in well when rolling. You want them to be “in” the dough when baking.
2. Gideon’s is famous for having a semi-baked inside. If you do not like a doughy center just bake for a little while longer. These cookies are dense and thick on purpose, so the center is going to be softer than the outside.
3. You can also make this recipe into a larger batch, just by making smaller balls of dough if you would like. If you do just make sure you space the cookies out well on the baking sheet. If making a smaller cookie, for a larger batch, I would recommend baking for 12-15 minutes, to ensure you don’t burn the cookies due to the high temperature.

How to store your cookies:

I always store my cookies in an air-tight container or a zip lock bag. Cookies usually keep their fresh for about 3-5 days.

Yes, you can probably still eat them after 5 days, but who likes to let homemade cookies last that long? Eat them up and make some more!

I hope you enjoy these Gideon’s Bakehouse Copycat cookies. While they are famous for their classic chocolate chip cookie, I really enjoyed my FUNfetti twist to their recipe. Don’t worry, I’ll be making more Gideon’s Copycat cookies again! These cookies did not last the day at my house! How fast will they be gone at your house?
