Copycat Doubletree Hotel Cookies- The Perfect Recipe for a Snow Day

Yum-chocolate chip cookies! Even better- Doubletree Hotel Chocolate Chip Cookies. Just the thought of these sweet and chocolaty treats makes me melt.

As soon as I found out that today was a snow day for my family, I began thinking of the delicious goodies we could make together. The Doubletree Hotel's Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect cookie- soft and chewy on the inside (from the ground oats) while still being perfectly crisp on the outside.

These are now my go-to chocolate chip cookie because they are a little different (thanks again to the oats,lemon juice, and touch of cinnamon).  Best of all- you do not need to spend a night at the Doubletree to have these fabulous cookies!

Copycat Doubletree Hotel Cookies
(recipe make approx. 3 dozen cookies)

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup of old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2-1/4 cups of all purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1 cup of softened butter
  • 3/4 cup of sugar
  • 3/4 cup of light brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 12 ounce bag of chocolate chips
  • 1-1/2 cups of chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
  •  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a food processor or food mill, grind your old fashioned oats to a flour-like consitancy. Pour into a bowl and add: flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside for later.

  • Using a mixer, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat for 3-4 minutes until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and beat until smooth.
  • Now, add dry ingredients in 3 batches and beat until combined.
  • Add the chocolate chips and walnuts and stir by hand. 
**For large cookies- drop 3-4 tablespoons of cookie dough 2-3 inches apart**


  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly brown around the edges.
  • Let cool on wire racks.
* These cookies freeze well. I packed 2 cookies per snack bag and then in a freezer bag. These are perfect to pull out for a snack or for lunches.



I hope you enjoy these heavenly chocolate chip cookies. You'll never want to make Tollhouse Cookies again!
