As you likely know, October 1 was the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World. MiceChat spent the whole last week covering all-things WDW, and I thought I’d share a little something as well: Cinderella Latte Cookies! These delicious treats are inspired by a special drink, the Cinderella Latte, and it’s the perfect way to continue celebrating the 50th-anniversary of WDW. Let’s get baking!
A Latte for a Princess
Once upon a time, there was a Starbucks barista named Erica. She was so full of joy and passion for creating happy memories that she wanted to make a special drink that would share her love of Disney with her customers. After much thinking and experimenting, Erica came up with the Cinderella Latte.
Anyone can order this drink, whether you’re at the Starbucks at the Magic Kingdom or your local shop. It can be enjoyed hot or iced, tall or venti, and with any kind of milk (plant-based or otherwise) that you would like. Based off of the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte, the Cinderella Latte replaces half of the pumpkin spice pumps with white mocha!
All you have to do is ask to substitute half of the pumpkin spice syrup for white mocha, and then you’ll be transporting your tastebuds to Cinderella Castle in no time at all.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Erica, and she is just as joyful and sweet like you’d expect from any Disney princess!.
Cinderella Latte Cookies
I was so inspired by Erica’s Cinderella Latte that I wanted to make cookies based off of it. I thought it would be the perfect way to celebrate Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary. Without further ado, here is my cookie interpretation of the Cinderella Latte!
Cinderella Latte Cookies
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line baking sheet with parchment paper, silpat, or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Using an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar until fluffy. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla and stir until combined.
- Add flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, espresso, and cornstarch and stir until just combined and dough begins to form. Fold in white chocolate chips.
- Scoop cookie dough using a medium cookie scoop ( I rolled them in coarse sanding sugar for some extra Fairy Godmother magic…it’s up to you!) place onto prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350° F for 10-12 minutes or until just turning golden brown. My cookies took about 14-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them.
- Let cool on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to metal cooling rack to cool completely.
