I tried the most coveted Christmas cookies at Disney World that people wait hours in line for.
The half-pound cookies are found at Gideon's Bakehouse in Disney Springs, and cost $6 each.

Gideon's Bakehouse is one of my favorite places on Disney World property.

I visited Gideon's Bakehouse in early December — as did lots of other people.

Sure enough, almost everyone waiting to enter Disney Springs headed straight to Gideon's after passing through security.

First was the $6 Kris Kringle cookie, which featured white chocolate chips, sea salt, and edible glitter atop a vanilla cookie flavored with coconut, caramel, and freshly ground coffee beans.

The $9 slice of Kris Kringle cake was arguably even more delicious.

Next was the $6 Krampus option, which is essentially Gideon's triple-chocolate cookie with Andes Mint candies mixed in.

Surprisingly, I loved the $6 Krampus Shadow Cake, a limited-edition dessert that's only offered on occasion in December.

I'd definitely return to Florida next December for more of these Christmas desserts.
