This New Disney World Cookie Already Has Undergone a HUGE Change!

Earlier this week, we were truly shaken to our core when we found out The Polite Pig in Disney Springs was no longer selling the famous Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie! THE HORROR!

R.I.P. Gideon’s Cookies at The Polite Pig!

Of course, we later found out WHY, and also much to our relief, The Polite Pig began offering its own replacement: hence the Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie was born!

But ever since the new cookie debuted at The Polite Pig, the results have been a mixed bag. Some people thought its over-the-top chocolate-chip-to-cookie-ratio was similar to a Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie!

Even though the recipe is completely different from Gideon’s (it has BOURBON in it, people!) the cookies still looked pretty similar! The Polite Pig has since changed their recipe, and they’ve now swapped the chocolate chips for chocolate rock candies instead!

They’ve also, rather cleverly, changed the treat’s name to the Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie!

Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie

As you can see, it now looks VERY different from a Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie. Taste-wise it’s exactly the same Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie we tried earlier this week — minus the chocolate chips, of course!

Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie

Our cookie was especially gooey and ate more like cookie dough. But it still had plenty of salt flakes sprinkled over the top to balance some of that sweetness. The Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie costs $5 and will be available all day long or until it sells out! We’ll be VERY interested in finding out what you guys think of them this time around!

Let us know if you’re looking forward to trying out the new Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie in the comments below!

REVIEW and PHOTOS: This Crazy Popular Treat Is GONE in Disney World…But There’s A Brand New Replacement…

We’re desperately trying not to hyperventilate, but there is some pretty interesting news coming out of Disney Springs this morning regarding one of our favorite baked goods!

REVIEW and PHOTOS: This Crazy Popular Treat Is GONE in Disney World…But There’s A Brand New Replacement…

Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies

As you know by now, The Polite Pig‘s Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie is one of the cornerstones of our diets, but as of today these half-pound miracles that are studded all over with chocolate chips have disappeared and aren’t likely to RETURN!

But before you go crawling into a corner, here’s some good news! You’ll still be able to get your Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies at the bakery’s main location in Downtown Orlando (whew!). AND The Polite Pig has replaced them with a new signature item called they’re calling the Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie!

Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie

At first glance, this new Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie looks remarkably similar to a Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie, but we can assure you they aren’t the same! Even though this cookie is also loaded for bear with chocolate chips and even has flecks of salt sprinkled over it, just LOOK at how much flatter it is!

Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie

But if you’re like us, you’re probably more concerned with how this new cookie tastes! We were told it’s The Polite Pig’s new exclusive recipe and it even has a little bit of Evan Williams Bourbon in it! We took our first bite not knowing what the future would hold in store for us and this new cookie substitute we gotta say — this new Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie is actually quite tasty!

Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie

It has some cinnamon notes from the bourbon which we noticed more with each glorious bite. And unlike Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies which so so super-rich we often can’t finish them in one sitting, this one was pretty easy to polish off! It’s definitely a soft, delicious cookie that’s not as buttery than Gideon’s. It also noticeably less chewy and has more of that half-baked texture that we happen to love in a cookie!

Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie

That’s not to say we’re forsaking our love of Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies, but The Polite Pig’s new Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie definitely stands up on its own. It would be amazing with a glass of bourbon or an Old Fashion whereas a Gideon’s always made us crave a glass of milk!

And unlike Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies, there’s no limit on how many Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookies you may buy at one time! They cost $5 and are available all day long ( or until they sell out)! The Polite Pig says they’re hoping to add more cookie recipes to their repertoire someday, and we can’t be made about any of their recent menu changes which also includes new Pork Rinds with spicy pimento dipping sauce, Shrimp and Grits and Creamed Florida Corn because the results have been delicious!

What do you think of The Polite Pig removing Gideon Bakehouse Cookies and replacing them with their own recipe? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
