If you’ve ever stayed at a DoubleTree hotel, you know those warm chocolate chip cookies they give you for free are one of the best parts about being a guest there. When my family visits the DoubleTree on Redington Beach near St. Pete, we all get one and it's usually eaten before we get up to our room. Well, now the hotel chain is revealing the official recipe for those sweet treats for the first time so we can try to DIY them.
DoubleTree explains that many copycat recipes have appeared online over the years, but this is the first time we’re getting the info straight from the source. Some of the cookies’ 13 ingredients are no surprise, like butter, sugar, flour, and chocolate chips. But there are some surprises in the recipe - including rolled oats and the most shocking one - LEMON JUICE! But if you’ve tasted one of these cookies, you know how tasty they are, so if they make them with lemon juice, it’s working.
Check out the recipe here and try your hand at making these famous cookies at home.
