How to make the DoubleTree Hilton Cookies?
We start by creaming the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar for about two minutes, ensuring the butter is at room temperature.
Next, add the eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice and beat until they come together to form a smooth and fluffy batter.
Whisk the All-purpose flour, rolled oats, salt, and baking soda. Add large spoonfuls of additions and incorporate them into the batter on low speed. Finally, add chocolate chips and walnuts.
Scoop out the batter onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven for 23 minutes at 300°F
Cool the cookies on the baking pan and cooling rack, and enjoy.

Useful Tips
- As with baking cookies, all the ingredients need to be at room temperature beforehand.
- We baked some big cookies in the first batch, immediately after mixing the dough. The rest we refrigerated for about 2 hours to make later.
- The second set tasted even better; it could be the refrigeration that helped to absorb and marinate all the ingredients.
- Add any additions like chocolate chips, walnuts, or any other favorites.
- Take the cookies out of the oven as soon as it is baked and cool on a cooling rack. Do not overbake them if you like soft and chewy cookies.
Recipe FAQ
Cookies can turn hard if overbaked or if the baking soda used is past its expiry date.
