Copycat Doubletree Hotel Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
These cookies start by melting butter and mixing it smoothly with sugars, then incorporating eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice for balance. Ground rolled oats add a slightly nutty flavor and a subtle texture variation. Dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, and salt come next, combined gently to avoid toughening the dough. Chocolate chips and walnuts are folded in, lending sweet and crunchy notes.
Chilling the dough for at least 1-2 hours, ideally overnight or longer, allows flavors to meld and dough to firm up, making it easier to shape. Baking at 360°F until golden yields cookies that have crisp edges and a soft, chewy center. A light sprinkling of sea salt on top can enhance the sweet flavors.
This cookie makes an indulgent treat suitable for gifting, sharing or satisfying a chocolate chip craving. The combination of oats and nuts provides a more complex mouthfeel than simple chocolate chip cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter melted (in microwave)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup rolled oats ground in food processor
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Place butter in microwave-safe bowl and cook in microwave until melted, approximately 45-60 seconds.
- Stir in brown sugar and sugar and keep stirring until the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in vanilla, lemon juice, and eggs.
- In food processor, pulse rolled oats until a fine powder. Add to mixture. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until all combined.
- Stir in mini chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Place cookie dough in plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Place in refrigerator to chill.
- The minimum chilling time is 1-2 hours. The ideal chilling time is at least overnight or 24-48 hours.
- Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
- Remove from refrigerator and shape into balls on cookie sheet. If the dough is cold and tightly formed together, use a knife to cut dough sections. It is usually easier to shape into balls once it is in smaller pieces.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown. May sprinkle with a touch of sea salt.
