Doubletree Hotels Cookies

Doubletree Hotels Cookies are legendary for a reason! Soft, chewy, and overflowing with chocolate chips, these treats are a masterclass in comfort baking. With a hint of brown sugar and a sprinkle of sea salt, every bite is a warm hug in a world that needs more sweetness.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
• 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).

Scoop 1/4 cup balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 7 cookies

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature butter for the best results, as it will help to create a tender and chewy cookie.

When sorting through your ingredients, make sure to use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.

If you choose to add walnuts, be sure to chop them finely to ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

To ensure soft-baked cookies, take them out of the oven when they’re lightly golden brown and still slightly underbaked.

They’ll continue to cook a bit after removal from the oven.

Don’t overbake! The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

You can store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Freeze for longer storage.
