Disneyland Shortbread Cookie

We are all missing Disneyland a little more this year. With no reopening in sight, Disney has released several of their famous treat recipes for us to recreate at home.

Today, Disneyland Shortbread Mickey Cookies! If you haven’t tried their shortbread, you don’t know what you’re missing. Disneyland’s is substantially better than Walt Disney Worlds. (Don’t tell them I said that). Take a look at the recipe below and share your results with us on Instagram with the #themeparkprofessor
