Notably, the recipe reflects the fact that Disney has been exploring more plant-based options recently, and the plant-based cookie fries call for a liquid egg substitute, plant-based margarine, dairy-free mini chocolate chips and just a handful of other kitchen staples. To connect with people in a different way than usual, brands are sharing their official recipes for everything from signature burgers to desserts that can be recreated at home.
