Social media went crazy when, earlier this month, Hilton shared its DoubleTree cookie recipe. For those of us who often stay at DoubleTree by Hilton properties, it’s alway such a treat to receive a warm cookie at check-in time. I often wondered “what do they put in these cookies?” as they’re so so so tasty! There’s a texture thing that I thought might be coconut, but it’s in fact rolled oatmeal!

Here’s the link to the recipe and I’ve made a few observations:

300 degrees is lower a temperature than I’m used to baking at. My cookies baked in 25 minutes, so start checking the browning at 20-23 minutes, knowing it could take a few additional minutes.

I had pecans instead of walnuts so I used the pecans and the cookies were fantastic. Not the original receipe, but very delish.

I baked 4 cookies and froze the rest as dough balls that, according to the recipe, can be baked right from the freezer.

I like the idea of the lemon juice and will use it in all my cookie recipes going forward.

I ended up with 28 cookies…just couldn’t keep trying to resize them to get to the proposed 26 cookies.

These are amazing cookies!!
