When you’re bored in the house, and in the house bored there’s always the option to create… and better yet, bake! While the orders to Stay Home are in place Caitlin and Danielle are working on the Spring Beauty routines and getting creative in the kitchen (aside from the #GarlicChallenge). For the first time ever, DoubleTree by Hilton has shared the official bake-at-home recipe for the brand’s beloved and delicious chocolate chip cookie, so at-home bakers can create the warm and comforting treat in their own kitchens. The Dolls had to give it a try!
We first fell in love with these cookies when we hosted a pool party last summer – it almost seams like a lifetime ago now! DoubleTree cookies have a passionate fan following and a long history. More than 30 million are consumed every year, and the DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie even became the first food to be baked in orbit during experiments aboard the International Space Station.
We partnered with Hilton to share this delicious recipe, because we could all deserve a sweet treat right now!
DoubleTree Signature Cookie Recipe
Makes 26 cookies
- ½ pound butter, softened (2 sticks)
- ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch cinnamon
- 2 2/3 cups Nestle Tollhouse semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 3/4 cups chopped walnuts
Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
Add eggs, vanilla and lemon juice, blending with mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl.
With mixer on low speed, add flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, blending for about 45 seconds. Don’t overmix.
Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Portion dough with a scoop (about 3 tablespoons) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart.
Preheat oven to 300°F. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for about 1 hour.
Cook’s note: You can freeze the unbaked cookies, and there’s no need to thaw. Preheat oven to 300°F and place frozen cookies on parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
If you have children, a significant other with a sweet tooth, or a fantastic roommate we recommend baking these up and surprising your #PandemicPal! How have you been staying creative during quarantine? Tell us in the comments.

This recipe looks really delicious. Interesting they use lemon juice. My son has been doing quite a bit of baking now that the kids are home from school. I’ll definitely have him try this recipe next time he wants to bake. Thanks for sharing!

I remember trying these cookies before and they had quickly become one of my favorites. I’m so glad to have the recipe now to make them on my own!

I wanted to bake some cupcakes with my kids but I haven’t been able to get any flour. So if I do get some, I will try your recipe.

This looks like a great option for my next baking task. I’ve been spending a little more time in the kitchen than usual, but most of it has been for the pups. Evidently they are a little spoiled and they certainly haven’t been complaining about all the handmade dog treats coming their way lol
