As soon as I saw that DoubleTree released their chocolate chip recipe I HAD to make them the same week. I can’t tell you anything else about my stay there, but I remembered the cookies! This weekend we celebrated my mom’s birthday and it was the perfect opportunity to try out her new KitchenAid Stand Mixer (would also make a great Mother’s Day gift). I’m not a frequent baker and there were a lot of different ingredients, so it was nice to just throw it all in the bowl and the let the mixer work. My little helper and I got it done, and they came out perfectly. My favorite part is that little hint of oatmeal and walnuts mixed in – it takes a plain chocolate chip cookie to the next level. Now it’s your turn! Enjoy! Recipe per Hilton’s website:Makes 26 cookies½ pound butter, softened (2 sticks)¾ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar¾ cup packed light brown sugar2 large eggs1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract¼ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice2 ¼ cups flour1/2 cup rolled oats1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon saltPinch cinnamon2 2/3 cups Nestle Tollhouse semi-sweet chocolate chips1 3/4 cups chopped walnuts Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla and lemon juice, blending with mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl. With mixer on low speed, add flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, blending for about 45 seconds. Don’t overmix. Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Portion dough with a scoop (about 3 tablespoons) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart. Preheat oven to 300°F. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for about 1 hour. Cook’s note: You can freeze the unbaked cookies, and there’s no need to thaw. Preheat oven to 300°F and place frozen cookies on parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
