A copycat of the cookie made famous by a hotel chain, these Doubletree Cookies are filled with chocolate chips and walnuts. Serve them warm for the perfect treat.
Did you know that I originally posted these Doubletree Cookies in my 2nd ever blog post here on Taste and Tell?
This post originally had 3 (!) recipes. These cookies, the oh-so-delicious Chicken in Caper Cream Sauce and this Easy French Bread Recipe. The writing was terrible, the photos were even worse. And I didn’t know how to write a recipe to save my life.
But here we are, almost 12 years later. It’s been one amazing, delicious ride, though.
Since I’ve already re-posted the (improved) chicken recipe and French bread recipe, I figured it was about time these Doubletree Cookies had a makeover of their own.
These cookies are always a hit. Chewy in the center, crispy on the edges, full of chocolate flavor. And don’t underestimate the power of ground up oats and chopped walnuts.
I love chocolate chip cookies, and these are some of the best!
Ingredients in Doubletree Cookies
These cookies take a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and give it some extras that make these cookies extra-special:
How to Make this Doubletree Cookies Recipe
If you’ve made cookies before, you’ll have no problem making these Doubletree Cookies!
- Start by putting the oats in a food processor or blender and pulse until they are broken down into fine crumbs. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and pulse until everything is combined.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar and cream them together. Add in the vanilla and lemon juice.
- Add the eggs, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar and mix it all together. Don’t overmix.
- Add in both chocolate chips and the walnuts the mix to combine.
- Divide the dough into 24 portions and roll into balls.
- Place the dough on baking sheets and bake until lightly browned.
- Let them sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool. Or transfer them to your mouth. Shhh – I won’t tell.

Tools Used to Make these Doubletree Cookies
I love my KitchenAid and feel like it makes it more fun to be in the kitchen!
I always use either parchment paper or a silpat liner when making cookies.
A cookie scoop makes this much easier! I like to use a large size for these cookies.

Description
A copycat of the cookie made famous by a hotel chain, these Doubletree Cookies are filled with chocolate chips and walnuts. Serve them warm for the perfect treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- Place the oats in a blender or a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and pulse a few times to combine.
- In a the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Once combined, add the vanilla a lemon juice and mix to combine. Add the eggs, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix just until combined. Add in both chocolate chips and the walnuts and mix just to combine.
- Divide the mixture into 24 equal portions and roll into balls. Place on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. (I usually do 8 cookies per cookie sheet.)
- Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 12-14 minutes. They may still look a tiny bit wet in the center – you don’t want to over-bake the cookies because they will continue to bake as they sit on the baking sheet.
- Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or a sheet of wax paper to cool.
Recipe Notes:
I think that cookies bake the best if you only bake one baking sheet at a time. For this recipe, I’ll have 2 baking sheets ready to go so that I can alternate batches of cookies in the oven.

Yay! I can comment now 🙂
I have some capers just begging to be used in that chicken dish. Looks wonderful.
Do you think I could get away with omitting the nuts in the cookies? I’ve wanted to try this recipe for quite awhile!
Deborah says
I guess it just depends on what you are going for. Every Doubletree “knock off” recipe I have seen has had nuts – usually walnuts, but all I had on hand was pecans. If you just don’t like the taste, I chopped mine up really fine so I didn’t really taste an over “nutty” taste. If you just don’t like nuts at all, leave them out. The recipe isn’t perfectly like the Doubletree cookies, but it would still make a great chocolate chip cookie without the nuts!
