Double Tree Cookies

 

Don't these look really good? I made these first to try the recipe and liked them good enough I thought I would use these as a thank you gift to someone that is always doing something nice for one of Hubby's relatives . ( Believe me they need more than good cookies for that challenge! Lol)

    This is a copycat recipe for the Double Tree Hotel check in cookie.

     Other than a whole lot of really good cookie flavor and yummyness it has loads of chocolate chips and walnuts with just enough dough too hold it together good.

    I looked at their cookies and they are right at $2 each for much smaller cookie than what I made.

    Hubby said I can keep this recipe!

Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F. 
Bake for 13-17 minutes
Yield: 20 cookies

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups chocolate chips (use your favorite kind)
• 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

 Directions:

1. Place oats in a small food processor or blender and grind until they turn powdery.
   
2. Place them in a medium sized bowl and whisk in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
   
3. Set aside.
4. Stir together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. (No mixer needed – just use a wooden spoon or spatula!)
   
5. Stir in vanilla, lemon juice, and eggs.
   
6. Stir until smooth, then stir in flour mixture. Mixture may be slightly lumpy because of the ground oats.
   
7. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
8. Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper.
   
9. Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of the dough into balls and place on the cookie sheet. You do not need to space them; this is just for chilling.
   
10. Cover well with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours or overnight before baking.
11. Place cookies well spaced on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper .
    
12. Slightly depress each ball with the palm of your hand.
13. Do not over bake – these are best a bit under done.

**** Notes ****
This chocolate chip cookie recipe is even BETTER than the Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe!! It’s gooey and full of chocolate, oats, and walnuts. Plus, they’re HUGE!
