I live for trying new sweet treats, and Christmas time is the best when it comes to cookies and other desserts! I&#8217;m also a very big gingerbread cookie girl, and on my most recent trip I decided to go on a hunt for the best ginger cookie. Check out my ranking of the top gingerbread cookies during the holiday season!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h2>#4: Mickey Mouse Gingerbread Cookie<\/h2>\n<p>This treat can be found at a handful of Disney sweet shops, including Goofy&#8217;s Candy Co. in Disney Springs and the Confectionery in Magic Kingdom. I picked this cookie up on my way out of the Magic Kingdom, and it was definitely the cutest one I tried!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-76024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4510-e1578533429276-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4510-e1578533429276-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4510-e1578533429276.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fluffy and dipped in milk chocolate, this Mickey-shaped treat is perfect for Instagram, but lacked that spice that I love in a ginger cookie. A good choice if you have a snack credit to use and are waiting for a holiday parade, this cookie ranks third on my list.<\/p>\n<h2>#3: Gingerbread Cookie Sticks<\/h2>\n<p>Find these treats at Hollywood Studios in a few locations during the holiday season; I got mine at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/min-bills-dockside-diner-menu\/\">Min &amp; Bill&#8217;s Dockside Diner<\/a>. The best part about these cookies is that they come in a bag of 2! For $5.69, these large cookies are totally sharable. Frosted with royal icing and topped with some cute garnishes, these were really enjoyable! I also liked that they came pre-packaged so I could close them up and save the second cookie for later. The flavor was nice, the cookies were soft and chewy, and the decorations really felt like the holidays!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76001 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1A3236C5-6597-4804-A66C-C144AE39767C-320x400.jpg\" alt=\"gingerbread\" width=\"320\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1A3236C5-6597-4804-A66C-C144AE39767C-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1A3236C5-6597-4804-A66C-C144AE39767C.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>#2.

Ginger Snap Cookie<\/h2>\n<p>It shouldn&#8217;t surprise you that my number one ginger cookie was purchased out of a gigantic gingerbread house! What might surprise you, though, is that my pick for #1 isn&#8217;t a shingle from the house. It&#8217;s an unassuming ginger snap cookie!
