Jack-Jack Num Num Cookies Recipe

If you’ve ever walked past Jack-Jack Num Num Cookies at Disney California Adventure or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you know how hard it is to resist that giant, warm chocolate chip cookie. This copycat Jack-Jack Num Num Cookies recipe recreates that thick, gooey center, golden edges, and plenty of melty chocolate in every bite. Baking the cookies in mini tart pans helps give them that signature oversized, bakery-style shape, making them a fun Disney Parks treat to enjoy right at home.

Cooking Tips

For the best Jack-Jack Num Num Cookies, chill the dough before baking so the cookies stay thick and develop that soft, gooey center. If you are using mini tart tins, lightly grease them and fill each one with about 1/2 cup of dough, leaving a little room at the top for the cookie to rise. Start checking them around 14 minutes and remove them when the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft. If you are baking the cookies without tart tins, shape the dough into tall, thick mounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and give them plenty of space to spread. These may need a few extra minutes in the oven, so watch the edges closely and avoid overbaking. In either case, let the cookies rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the centers can set while staying warm and melty.

Description

These Jack Jack Num Num Cookies are thick, buttery chocolate chip cookies with crisp edges and warm, gooey centers.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs (room temperature)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 ³⁄₄ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• ¹⁄₂ tsp baking powder
• ³⁄₄ tsp salt
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cups semisweet chocolate chunks
• ¹⁄₂ cup milk chocolate chips
• flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix just until a thick cookie dough forms.

5. Chop the chocolate into chunks. Fold in the semisweet and milk chocolate chunks, reserving a few pieces for the tops of the cookies.

6. Divide the dough into 12 large portions, using approximately 1/2 cup of dough for each cookie. Shape each portion into a thick ball. Or fill a mini tart tin with the dough, leaving room on top for the dough to rise as it bakes.

7. Place the dough balls in large, oven-safe paper baking cups or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you're using a mini tart tin, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the reserved chocolate chunks into the tops.

8. Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 1 hour. Chilling prevents the oversized cookies from spreading too much while baking.

9. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

10. Bake the cookies for 15 to 23 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still appear slightly soft and underbaked. Baking the cookies in mini tart tins will take less time. Start checking at 14 minutes to ensure the cookies don't overbake.

11. Sprinkle the warm cookies with flaky sea salt, if desired.

12. Allow the cookies to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm while the centers are still soft and gooey.
