These legendary DoubleTree Cookies are known for their chewy texture, crunchy walnuts, and rich chocolate chips. A hotel favorite you can now make at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of cinnamon
- 2 2/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 3/4 cups chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts by hand using a spatula.
- Portion the dough with a cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons per cookie) and place on the baking sheet spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 20–23 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for about 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- DoubleTree cookies can be frozen before or after baking. Freeze pre-scooped dough balls and bake from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to the baking time.
- Let cookies rest on the pan to continue baking and setting without overbaking.
- Use quality chocolate chips for the best results—semi-sweet is traditional, but milk or dark work too.
