You Know Disney's Molasses Crackle Cookies Coated in Sugar? Here's How to Make 'Em at Home

Mind the crumbs! Walt Disney World is known for having a lot of incredible desserts, but its cookies are top tier, especially the Molasses Crackle Cookies at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Since we don't have plans to visit the theme park anytime soon, Disney Parks Blog dropped the recipe so we can whip up a batch of the super sweet cookies at home. Just make sure you have a decent amount of sugar on hand.

Coated in a crunchy sugar crystal layer and filled with rich molasses and spicy ginger, the crackle cookies are just about as sweet as a dessert can get, and the winter spices make them perfect for enjoying with a hot cup of cocoa. Of course, if you're looking to snack on them in the warmer months, you could always sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two of 'em for a cooler treat. A part of me knows that eating these is a recipe for crumbs, but an even larger part of me knows it's worth it. Check out the full Disney recipe to try these at home for yourself here.
