Doubletree Hotel Chocolate Chip Cookies (Copycat Recipe)

If you’ve ever stayed at a DoubleTree Hotel, you know how wonderful it is to be greeted by a warm chocolate chip cookie when you walk in the door, and now you can make the famous Doubletree Hotel Chocolate Chip Cookies at home!

Hilton released the cookie recipe in 2020, saying “A warm chocolate chip cookie can’t solve everything, but it can bring a moment of comfort and happiness. We hope families enjoy the fun of baking together during their time at home.”

I don’t know….I think a warm chocolate chip cookies solves a lot of things!

I did make a few tweaks to the “official” recipe–switching out some of the chocolate chips for mini chocolate chips, and using less walnuts.

I do love nuts in my chocolate chip cookies, but others in my family don’t. I wanted to be true to the original though, so I simply reduced the amount of nuts in my recipe. Pecans are a great substitution for the walnuts if you prefer.

I often make these cookies with out nuts, because sometimes I want a plain old chocolate chip cookie. And as far as chocolate chip cookie recipes go, the DoubleTree recipe is one of the best.

As far as the lemon juice…..some people say it makes for a chewier cookie, and in this case, I’d say it works. In case you were wondering why the recipe uses lemon juice.

Yes, there are a lot of chocolate chips in these cookies. That’s part of what makes them so amazing! And don’t skip blending your oats. It adds great texture without turning these into oatmeal cookies.

My favorite tip: Portion the dough into balls and freeze them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once frozen, keep them in a zip-top bag and bake them individually when you have a cookie craving. Just like at DoubleTree hotel!
