The Banana Box Pie Cookie has debuted at Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs, blending banana flavor, white chocolate, and nostalgic pie-inspired textures into one massive limited-edition cookie.

If you thought the cookie craze at Gideon’s Bakehouse couldn’t get any wilder at Disney Springs, think again. The cult-favorite bakery has kicked off 2026 with a bold new limited-edition treat, the Banana Box Pie Cookie. Also, it’s already making waves among dessert hunters lining up in The Landing.

Where It’s At

Located in the bustling heart of Disney Springs, Gideon’s Bakehouse continues to draw crowds not for rides, but for serious sweets and eccentric bakery culture. Expect queues stretching outside the shop. However, those queues should not become virtual queues since that system is rarely used at Gideon’s Bakehouse.

What Is the Banana Box Pie Cookie?

This isn’t just another cookie — it’s a mashup of classic comfort and experimental indulgence:

• Flavor Profile: Ripe banana blended into a rich cookie base, balanced with toffee and a secret spice mix that elevates each bite beyond your average sweet treat.
• Toppings: A generous layer of white chocolate and crunchy candied vanilla wafers adds texture and sweetness with a subtle hint of brandy and rum, so you know this dessert means business.
• Portion: As with all Gideon’s cookies, this baby is no bite-sized snack — it’s hefty, flavorful, and perfect for sharing (or not) at around a half pound
• Price: $7.00

Banana Box Pie Cookie: First Impressions — Tasting Notes

The Banana Box Pie Cookie walks a delightful line between nostalgic banana bread and an over-the-top theme park dessert. The banana flavor is unmistakable but never overwhelming, and the interplay of the other components keeps each bite interesting. White chocolate sweetness is nicely cut by the crunchy vanilla wafers. This textural contrast works.

However, those familiar with the cookies from Gideon’s Bakehouse could struggle with the texture of the vanilla wafers. Still, fans of white chocolate will find plenty of that flavor in the Banana Box Pie Cookie. This cookie serves as a Gideon’s Bakehouse cookie that those who dislike the robust chocolate flavor in most of the bakery’s cookies will enjoy!

Where some of Gideon’s offerings can veer too be rich or overwhelming for some, this cookie feels intentional. The Banana Box Pie Cookie wants you to pause between bites and experience each layer. It’s also a clever nod to a classic banana cream pie, reimagined in faithful Gideon’s fashion. Perhaps that is why the January 2026 cake (available on Wednesdays and Saturdays this month) plays into the idea of a classic pie – Banana Moonpie Cake Slices.

The Gideon’s Experience

Gideon’s at Disney Springs is an experience. The décor leans into gothic-Victorian charm, the menu rotates with limited-edition treats, and there’s a Hot Cookie Hour where warm, fresh cookies are served with artisan ice cream.

That said, be prepared: fan discussions and reviews over the years have shown a wide range of opinions about the bakery. Some guests call Gideon’s “overhyped” and better for the ambiance than the sweets, while longtime fans swear by their creative concoctions. The Banana Box Pie Cookie will quickly become one of those can’t-miss limited treats that might help win over skeptics.

The Banana Box Pie Cookie is a clever, delicious addition to the Gideon’s lineup. This limited-edition treat has enough personality to compete with Disney Springs’ creative food scene. Whether you’re a banana lover or just dessert curious, this cookie delivers. Additionally, there are plenty of other cookies, cakes, cold brews, and merchandise available this month for Gideon’s Bakehouse fans to enjoy.
