How to Make Copycat Disneyland Cookies

- In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars together for a couple of minutes.
- Add vanilla and mix.
- Add the eggs and mix together.
- Add in the flour, baking soda and salt to a bowl and whisk together, then add to the wet mixture and stir until completely combined.
- Fold in peanut butter chips & chocolate chips, reserving some for the tops of the cookies.
- Using a medium scoop or scoop of choice, scoop peanut butter dough and place ¼ cup sugar into a small bow. Toss each dough ball in the sugar until completely covered.
- Place cookie scoops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and gently press each dough ball down to ½ inch thick or can leave as is. Depending on thickness.
- Bake the medium-sized scooped cookies for 10 minutes. For other sizes, bake more or less.
- Remove cookies and allow them to cool on their cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- These cookies are very soft. To get that soft batch cookie, you don’t want them to over bake or turn brown at all, because they will continue setting up as they cool.
Cookie Tips
One of the things I love is, you don’t have to chill the dough, so you can bake these up right away. But there’s no reason if you want to prep ahead to bake later, go ahead and scoop your dough balls out and roll in sugar. Seal tightly until ready to use, for up to 2 days.
- By chilling the dough, it will also make the cookies even thicker and you’ll have to increase your baking time a couple of minutes.
As far as sizes for these cookies, I used a medium cookie scoop
- Then if you want to coat cookies with sugar, place each ball in some sugar and roll it around to coat your cookie one at a time. Coat light or heavy depending on your preference.
You don’t want to over-bake these cookies, so depending on size, start with medium scoop sized cookies at 10-12 minutes. Large cookie scoop – 12-15 minutes and jumbo cookie size at 15-18 minutes.
After baking cookies, do not remove from cookie sheet until 5 minutes is up. They are very soft and tender after leaving the oven, so they need to set up before placing on wire rack

Peanut butter and chocolate is the best combo ever!! You know I’m pinning this!! But save me a few of these cookies. And I’ll bring the milk 🙂
Oh these cookies look heavenly and so perfectly chewy yet soft. That’s not surprising though – peanut butter, peanut butter chips, and chocolate = an unbeatable combination! And last but not least, I love this recipe doesn’t suggest using too much sugar as many similar cookie recipes do!
