If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, then there’s a good chance you’ve taken to social media to help with all your planning.
In an age where we can practically use TikTok as a search engine in itself, it’s easy to get wrapped up in what’s trending as far as park snacks go. Don’t get us wrong, snacks trend on social media for a reason. However, we’ve found that some really great snack options get forgotten in the shadows of other treats’ social media stardom. Today, we’re here to talk about one of those instances in particular. Let’s talk about COOKIES.
These aren’t just any cookies. We’re here to talk about cookies over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Here, you can find all sorts of great dessert options. One dessert in particular has gone viral here, though, and it can be found at Backlot Express.
Yes, we’re talking about the Wookie Cookie! If you’re unfamiliar with this treat, it consists of two oatmeal cookies smooshed together with vanilla cream filling and garnished with a chocolate sash that looks just like Chewbacca’s in Star Wars. It’s $6.79 and is a super solid option for a sweet treat.
The treat has been spotted across socials for being a huge, cute, Star Wars-themed cookie that’s pretty darn good, too.
So…what’s the issue? There’s truly no issue, other than consistency. Sometimes, the cookie can be a bit inconsistent with how moist it is as well as how much icing we’re given. Other times, it’s prepared a bit sloppily. Oh, and we did think of one more issue. PRICE. This cookie is nearly $7, and for that — we expect a bit more consistency when it comes to a $7 cookie.
That being said, there are just better options! We’re about to show you two of those.
Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie at Trolley Car Cafe
Trolley Car Cafe can be found toward the front of Hollywood Studios and is actually where you can find the park’s Starbucks. The Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie is MASSIVE and can be all yours for $5.49.
It’s two moist carrot cake cookies that are smothered and held together with cream cheese buttercream frosting. It has never disappointed us, and it’s honestly big enough to share. It’s cheaper than the Wookie Cookie, bigger than the Wookie Cookie, and for some folks — it might just taste better, too.
Now, let’s head further into the park for another cookie option!
Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie
Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie can be found at The Market in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and is a GIANT chocolate chip cookie that is so thick that it honestly looks more like a mini pie.

It’s moist, it’s gooey, it’s consistent, and it’s actually well-worth its price of $6.19. If we had to choose whether or not we were spending our money on a near-$7 Wookie Cookie or a near-$7 Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie, we’d totally go with Jack-Jack.
And there you have it! Of course, it’s totally okay to simply prefer the Wookie Cookie. Everyone is different! These are just our team’s thoughts on the cookies of Hollywood Studios. We’ll be sure to keep you all updated with more Disney news and advice, so follow along for more so that you never miss a thing.
