DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Ingredients
*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.
Butter: For this chocolate chip cookie recipe, you can use salted butter or unsalted butter. Just make sure that the butter has softened to room temperature.
White Sugar: Use white granulated sugar.
Light Brown Sugar: This helps add flavor to the cookie dough.
Large Eggs: Large eggs work best in this recipe.
Vanilla Extract: Another ingredient that adds flavor to the cookies. I like to use pure vanilla extract, but imitation extract will work as well.
Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice: This will add a little bit of tang to the cookies. You can substitute a splash of white vinegar if necessary.
All-Purpose Flour: This is the best type of flour for these cookies.
Rolled Oats: These can be found on the breakfast aisle at most grocery stores. Quick oats can also be used.
Baking Soda: Baking soda is used to help the cookies rise.
Salt: Helps to balance out the sweetness of these cookies.
Cinnamon: Just a little bit of cinnamon is needed to add a boost of flavor.
Nestle Tollhouse Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Hilton uses Nestle chocolate chips, but other brands of chocolate chips will also work.
Chopped Walnuts: DoubleTree hotel uses these in their cookies, but they can be omitted if desired.
