This is the doubletree cookie recipe that Doubletree by Hilton released during that time we were all home during 2020. These are the amazing warm chocolate chip cookies with a touch of oatmeal that you receive arrival at the Doubletree Hotels. Like being on vacation... but at home!

✨ Here is why this recipe is amazing:
- DoubleTree cookies are the most amazing warm, soft chocolate chip cookies that are thick and chewy.
- The cookies are bigger than a typical chocolate chip cookie and have a touch of oatmeal and are full of walnuts.
- My family likes for me to substitute in pecans for the walnuts but both variations are equally delicious.
🍪 How to make these cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F
- Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar for 2 minutes.
- Add eggs, vanilla and lemon juice to the mixer on low speed.
- Add flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Don’t overmix.
- Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Scoop (about 3 tablespoons) the dough onto a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
- Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for about 1 hour.

❄️ Storage Tips
This chocolate chip cookie dough recipe can easily be frozen. I like to pre-scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet and then freeze until the dough is firm. Store in an air-tight container until you need to bake off your cookies.
☝️ Top Tip
You can freeze the unbaked cookies, and there’s no need to thaw. Preheat oven to 300°F and place frozen cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are golden brown and the center is still soft.
🗒️ Frequently asked questions and tips:
This recipe can be doubled but I don't have a mixer big enough to hold a double batch. Also, the cookie batter is very thick and hand mixing is needed to fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts. My Kitchen Aid Mixer was crying when I tried to add the chips and nuts, so folding them by hand was needed.
Make sure the butter is room temperature. Room temperature butter is best for creaming.
Use a ¼ cup cookie scoop for large cookies.
Allow the cookies to rest and cool on the cookies sheet until they are room temperature. The heat from the tray will continue to slowly cook them without over-drying them.
Fold in the chocolate chips and buts by hand. The dough is thick and a mixer may not be up to the task.
Bake the cookies at 300 for a longer time to keep them soft.
