Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Description
This cookie recipe involves creaming together softened butter with brown and granulated sugars, then adding eggs, vanilla, and a bit of lemon juice to balance flavors. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and a pinch of cinnamon which contribute to texture and depth of flavor. Semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts fold in last.
Baking at 300°F produces cookies with crisp edges and a soft, chewy center. Cooling them on the baking sheet allows the cookies to develop their final texture. They make a hearty, flavorful treat suitable for a snack or dessert.
Clear measuring techniques for flour and recommendations for ingredient variants are included for consistent results. Salted butter is used, but adjustments are noted if unsalted butter is preferred. The cookie dough handling emphasizes not overmixing once flour is added. Chocolate chip quantity may be increased for those desiring more chocolate. Nutrition values given are estimates.

Notes
- Using salted butter is recommended; increase salt if unsalted butter is used.
- Light brown sugar is preferred for this recipe.
- Measure flour by weighing or gently spooning and leveling to avoid dense cookies.
- Only old-fashioned rolled oats have been tested; other oat types may affect texture.
- Milk or dark chocolate chips can substitute for semi-sweet if desired.
- Increasing chocolate chips to 2½ cups is possible for a richer chocolate flavor.
