DoubleTree Hotel Chocolate Chip Cookies

These soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies are a copycat version of the famous DoubleTree Hotel cookies!

How good do these cookies look?? If you’ve ever stayed in a DoubleTree hotel, you already know how good these cookies taste. 🙂 In my first job out of college I had to take plenty of business trips around the country. I can remember staying in DoubleTree hotels and looking forward to their famous (and delicious) chocolate chip cookies.

I had forgotten about them until I saw this copycat recipe show up on Pinterest. After seeing the pictures, and remembering how good the cookies were, I knew I had to try to recreate them!

These cookies are soft, chock full of chocolate chips, and completely chewy and delicious. I couldn’t get enough of them! I shared them with friends and everyone loved them.

It’s been years since I stayed in a DoubleTree hotel, so I can’t say for sure how close these are to the original, but I can promise you that they taste amazing. And really, what more can you ask for from a chocolate chip cookie? 🙂
