BETTER than Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookies
This chocolate chip cookie recipe is even BETTER than the Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe!! It’s gooey and full of chocolate, oats, and walnuts. Plus, they’re HUGE!
Did you know that when you stay at a DoubleTree hotel, they give you warm (ginormous) chocolate chip cookies at check-in? I know this, of course, because I’ve stayed at DoubleTree many times over the course of my life, but the funny thing is I forget EVERY TIME. So when I’m checking in and they hand me cookies, it’s like a sweet surprise. I’m not sure if they have a mix that they distribute to each hotel or if the hotel chef bakes up a new batch every day, but there’s a warming drawer at the front desk so you’re assured nice warm and gooey cookies along with your room key.
A few weeks ago, we stayed at the DoubleTree Santa Monica, and I was surprised yet again when they handed us cookies. You’d think I’d remember that from visit to visit, but I don’t, haha! Anyway, I jumped for joy like a kid and couldn’t wait to savor every bite.
A DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie is warm and melty, gooey, with a hint oats that you can see in the dough. They’re not oatmeal cookies at all, so as you’re eating them you wonder about the oats. (Or maybe that’s just me?) All I know is that when I finish my cookie I want MORE.
Lucky for me, Mel doesn’t eat his….so I got two. ?
Better than DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies? YOU BET!
I have really high standards when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. I love them a lot, and over the years I’ve become a cookie snob. Cookies that are bland, dry, over baked, or crunchy do NOT satisfy my chocolate chip cookie craving. My perfect chocolate chip cookie is just a tad under-baked so it’s gooey, with melty chocolate, nuts are a bonus, and they need to be bursting with flavors.
Basically, I want fireworks in my mouth when I eat a chocolate chip cookie…otherwise it’s not worth the calories.
The DoubleTree chocolate chip cookies come within a few percent of my idea of a perfect chocolate chip cookie, which is why when I made this copycat version I had to make them BETTER than the DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookie.
And they are. BETTER, that is. I just made a few tiny changes to the original recipe and the result? My absolute favorite cookie. I will never again make any other chocolate chip cookie…unless I’m making these. Oh, or these.
Or THESE.
So, what makes these cookies so special (and BETTER than the DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe)? Let me tell you:
