DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies
DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies offer a soft, chewy texture with golden edges and a tender center, combining classic cookie ingredients with rolled oats and a hint of cinnamon. Semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional walnuts add richness and textural contrast, while a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top introduces a subtle savory balance to the sweet cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 egg large
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch ground cinnamon
- 2 2/3 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 3/4 cups walnut optional, chopped
- sea salt for sprinkling on cookies, optional, flaky
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Using a stand mixer, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar together on medium speed for two minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, as necessary.
- Add eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice, blending with mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase the mixer to medium speed and beat for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl.
- Turn off the mixer and add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix on low for about 45 seconds or until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
- Portion dough with a cookie scoop or spoon, about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie, onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. DoubleTree doesn’t do this, but I do. Cool on baking sheet for about 1 hour.
Notes
- Flaky sea salt on top enhances the flavor but is optional and not included in the original DoubleTree recipe.
- Walnuts can be omitted for a nut-free cookie or included for added texture and flavor.
- Cool cookies fully on the baking sheet to allow set up without losing softness.
