Famous Doubletree Hotel Cookies!
Hilton offers a Doubletree chocolate chip cookies to all of their guests and more than 30 million cookies are eaten every year. If that doesn’t make them famous, this cookie recipe was also the first to be baked in space using a specially designed oven. The cookie has since returned to earth, been preserved, and is headed to be displayed at the Smithsonian.
If that doesn’t tell you these are not your average chocolate chip cookies let me tell you a bit about them.
- They are large, soft in the center, and crisp on the edges.
- Besides the size of this cookie the ingredients really make them stand out.
- Not only do the oats add texture, their flavor paired with the nuttiness of the walnuts, vanilla and cinnamon really make these cookies unique.
- You don’t necessarily taste the lemon juice, but it is still an important ingredient. The lemon juice reacts with the baking soda causing the cookies to have a better lift and a yummy chewy texture.
How to Make Them
PREP. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 300°F.
CREAM. Add the sugars and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix, on medium speed, until creamy, about 2 minutes.
MIX. Add eggs, vanilla and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix on low speed to incorporate, about 30 seconds. Then, turn the mixer to medium speed and continue to mix until fluffy and light, about 2 more minutes. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
COMBINE. Turn the mixer down to low speed and add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Only mix until incorporated, about 45 seconds. Do not over mix.
STIR. Take the bowl off of the mixing stand. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts and use a spoon or spatula to stir.
SCOOP. Scoop the dough onto the parchment paper lined pans. Each dough ball should be about 3 tbsp. Also, be sure that the dough is placed about 2 inches apart on the sheet.
BAKE. Bake for 20-23 minutes. The edges will be golden brown and the center should still be soft.
COOL. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to completely cool while still on the baking pan, about 1 hour.
A Couple Recipe Notes:
- Be sure that the butter is softened not melted otherwise the cookies will spread too much.
- Once you add the flour do not overmix them or the gluten in the flour will be overactivated.
- Make sure you use rolled oats and not quick oats.
- If you can’t have nuts, just leave them out. If you don’t like walnuts, try using pecans.
Keep your cookies fresh
STORE in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Add a slice of sandwich bread to help keep them soft.
You can also FREEZE them for 3 months. Be sure to separate layers with parchment or wax paper.
When baking, once frozen, you can let thaw and bake as usual or put in frozen and bake an additional few minutes.
