Steps to Make Disney-Inspired Jack-Jack's Cookie Num Nums
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the all-purpose flour in a medium-sized bowl. Then, add the cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- Using a fork or a small whisk, stir the dry ingredients together. Set bowl aside until ready to use.
- Cube cold unsalted butter and place it in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Then add light brown sugar and white sugar. Attach the paddle and turn the machine on low for about a minute. Then increase the speed to medium, and let it mix for about five minutes until a dough forms.
- Turn the mixer off, lower the bowl, and scrape down the inside and paddle. Raise the bowl, turn the machine on low, and add the eggs and vanilla extract. Increase the speed to medium and let it mix for about three minutes.
- Turn the machine off, lower the bowl, and scrape the inside and paddle. Raise the bowl and turn the machine on low, and add the flour mixture, about a cup at a time, then mix for about a minute after the last addition, until well combined.
- Turn the machine off, lower the bowl, and scrape the inside and paddle. Raise the bowl and turn the machine on low, and add the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips.
- Remove 66 semi-sweet chocolate chunks, and set aside for topping the cookie num nums. Add the remaining chocolate chunks to the cookie dough and mix until incorporated.
- Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper and put on a pair of vinyl gloves. Then, using a ½ cup ice cream scoop, portion the dough into 11 balls and place them on the parchment paper. (If you want to weigh the dough balls, they should weigh about 4 ½ ounces each.)
- Line a half-sheet pan with a Silpat baking mat and place 11-3.5-inch Crumbcake papers on top. Roll the dough balls slightly in your gloved hands and place them on the baking papers. Press the dough out so it fills the bottom of the paper cup.
- Then, press six semi-sweet chocolate chunks into the top of each cookie dough. Place in the 375°F oven, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for 23-25 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, remove the Cookie Num Nums from the baking sheet and place them on the wire rack to cool.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is an expertly developed Jack-Jack's Cookie Num Nums copycat recipe, designed to closely match the flavor, gooey texture, and colossal size of the originals found at Pixar Pier in Disneyland Resort and Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World.
The official Disney cookies are quite large. For the best result, we recommend scooping about ½ cup of dough per cookie. If you prefer smaller cookies, you can use a standard 3-tablespoon scoop, but reduce the baking time by 3-5 minutes.
Yes! This dough freezes beautifully. Scoop the chilled dough balls onto a baking sheet, freeze them until solid, then transfer them to an airtight freezer bag. When ready to bake, place the frozen dough balls on a baking sheet and add 2-4 minutes to the total baking time.
Since these are giant, super-sized cookies, proper packaging is key for gifting, especially during the holiday season. Once the cookies are completely cool, wrap each one individually in cellophane or a small, heat-sealable bag to lock in freshness. Place them in a sturdy, decorative tin or box, layering a piece of parchment paper between cookies if stacking more than two high. For shipping, individually wrapped cookies should be placed snugly in a box filled with crumpled parchment paper or shredded paper for cushioning, ensuring the cookies cannot shift during transit. This makes them the perfect festive and delicious holiday cookie gift!
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- The Golden Rule: Don't overbake! These cookies are meant to be soft and gooey in the center. Look for golden brown edges with a slightly soft center when checking for doneness.
- Double the Chocolatey Goodness: Press extra chocolate chips into the tops of your dough before baking. This adds another layer of chocolate flavor in every bite.
- Don't Skip the Chill Time: Chilling the dough is critical! This step prevents the super-sized cookies from spreading too much and helps them bake up thicker and chewier, just like the park version. Aim for at least 2 hours, but overnight is ideal.
- Liner Luxury: Use 3.5 inch Crumbcake papers for that authentic Disney Parks look.
