Hilton’s DoubleTree Cookies Recipe Revealed!
I’ve had the chance to travel quite a bit in the last few years, and I never pass up the opportunity to try a DoubleTree cookie whenever I’m staying at a Hilton. They’re absolutely delicious.
Recently, with travel restrictions in place, DoubleTree released their official recipe, and I couldn’t be more excited.
I made them right away, but of course, I made a few personal adjustments: I used fewer walnuts, a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate, bumped up the vanilla and cinnamon, and skipped the lemon juice for simplicity.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Swap or Tip |
|---|---|
| Unsalted Butter | Use salted butter but cut back slightly on added salt. |
| Brown & White Sugar | Swap part with dark brown sugar for a deeper flavor, or reduce slightly if you prefer less sweet. |
| All-Purpose Flour | Spoon & level for accuracy; don’t pack. |
| Old-Fashioned Oats | Don’t swap with instant oats; it changes the texture. |
| Chocolate Chips | Try a mix of semi-sweet & milk chocolate. |
| Chopped Walnuts | Leave out if you’re not a fan or swap with pecans. |
Quick Tip
This DoubleTree cookie recipe is intentionally huge. Making smaller cookies will change the texture and bake time, so stick to large scoops for that signature thick, chewy middle.

Equipment
- 2 Large sheet pan (15" x 21")
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
Ingredients
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1-1/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1-1/3 cups milk chocolate chips or more semi-sweet chips
- 1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a few large sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Add the eggs and vanilla; beat on low speed until combined, light, and fluffy (about 30 seconds). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix on low until combined, about 30–45 seconds. Do not overmix.
- Remove the bowl from the stand mixer, and using a strong silicone spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts until incorporated into the dough.
- Portion dough into balls that are 3 tablespoons in size. Roll the dough balls and place on the prepared lined sheet pans. Space the dough balls 2 inches apart; baking 6–8 cookies per sheet pan. Bake for 17–22 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the edges and soft in the centers.
- Remove from oven, and if desired, press a few additional chocolate chips or walnuts into the tops of the cookies. Use a metal spatula to remove the cookies from the sheet pan onto the wire cooling rack. Let cool for 1 hour.

Storage
Store cooled Doubletree Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
Freezer Tips:
- For cookies, wrap individually and freeze. Thaw at room temperature.
- I love freezing the dough for fresh cookies. Freeze balls on a tray, then store in a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding extra time.
Any tips for high altitude?
