Why this recipe works

If you’ve come to this recipe, you likely already know what you’re in for. These signature Doubletree chocolate chip cookies are quite the ordeal. This recipe comes straight from Hilton following the craze of copycat recipes out there that couldn’t quite live up to the original. Now you can enjoy your favorite sweet treat, even when you can’t get away on holiday.

If you don’t know, Doubletree by Hilton hands these cookies out to their guests when checking in, and they’re known as some of the best chocolate chip cookies around! These large and in charge cookies are ultra chocolatey with a bit of crunch from the nuts and additional texture from rolled oats.

Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookies ingredients

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

CHOCOLATE – You can use either semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped baking chocolate (or a mixture of both) like we normally do when we make our regular chocolate chip cookies recipe. Dark chocolate would also be a delicious option here.

ADDITIONS – The acidity in the lemon juice will react with the baking soda creating bubbles that help with the rise of the cookie. You can substitute the rolled oats for quick-cooking oats. Leave out the walnuts or substitute with pecans or almonds if you must. They won’t be much of a Doubletree cookie, though!

Preheat oven to 300F.
To the bowl of a stand mixer (or a hand mixer) cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until well combined. About 2 minutes.
Add in the eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice, mixing for about 30 seconds on low speed. Up the speed to medium for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
On low speed, add in the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until combined, about 35-45 seconds. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts with a wooden spoon.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Using a large cookie scoop, about 3 Tbsp, scoop dough balls onto baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown with a soft center.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!

Can I freeze them?

Yes, to freeze, scoop raw dough balls onto a baking sheet and flash freeze for about 40 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer frozen dough balls to a large ziptop bag and freeze for up to 4 months.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these doubletree chocolate chip cookies will a tall glass of milk. I also like to dip them in my coffee! If you use a smaller cookie scoop (we used a 3 Tbsp scoop), keep an eye on the cookies in the oven – they will be done sooner than a larger cookie will be.
