Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

What are Doubletree Cookies?
If you’ve ever been to a Hilton Doubletree Hotel you may have enjoyed one of their famous cookies! Doubletree cookies are the delicious, gooey, warm cookies that the Hilton Doubletree Hotels serves warm to their guests.
They are loaded with chocolate chips, and a few secret ingredients and they are so yummy.
The recipe has always been top secret, but Hilton has released it, so we can all enjoy the goodness of these cookies from the comfort of home!
What Makes DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies So Good?
There are a few things that make Doubletree cookies stand out from the rest. As I’ve mentioned, they have a handful of secret ingredients, that you might not expect to find in a chocolate chip cookie recipe.
- They have a large amount of walnuts that give them a crunch in every bite.
- There is just the right amount of rolled oats added to create their perfect cookie texture.
- A pinch of cinnamon gives them their unique flavor.
- The most interesting secret ingredient is lemon juice! I was so surprised by this, too. The lemon juice reacts with the baking soda. So, adding lemon juice to these cookies gives them their insane chewiness, and keeps them tasting like they are fresh out of the oven.
Ingredients
Doubletree cookie ingredients follow along with what you’d expect in a traditional chocolate chip cookie with just a few twists!

Pro Tips
Tip 1: As with most cookie recipes, the mixing of the ingredients is key in the consistency of your dough and ultimately the final outcome of your cookies. Be sure that you don’t overmix the batter in these!
Tip 2: You can freeze the unbaked cookies, and there’s no need to thaw. I love to make a double batch of these and freeze half of the dough for later! If you have leftover dough, place it in a freezer-safe container and put it in the freezer.
How to Bake From Frozen Cookie Dough
When ready to enjoy, simply preheat the oven to 300 degrees and place frozen cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until the edges are golden brown and the center is still soft.

They were perfect. So good in fact a second batch had to be made to replace the first batch, intended as a gift. Thank you for sharing.
Why do they say to wait for one hour before eating? That sounds like an excessive amount of time.
