Just Like the Doubletree Hotel's Chocolate Chip Cookies - Doubletree cookie
recipe
Heavenly is all I can say!! I had these cookies on a trip many years ago
while staying at a Doubletree Hotel (they left one on each pillow each day
after cleaning the rooms) and always thought they were "THE BEST"
chocolate chip cookies I had ever eaten! I have searched High and Low for
a recipe for anything similar to what I had eaten at the Doubletree and
recently found this recipe (unfortunately I can't remember where I got the
recipe from)and have made them several times since. They are a little more
time-consuming than regular chocolate chip cookies but well worth the extra
time! This recipe makes extra large cookies. I'm not sure as to the exact
prep time and I don't always chill the dough overnight)
20 cookies 18 min
1/2 cup rolled oats
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened (No Substitutes!)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 eggs
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups chopped macadamia nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grind oats in a food processor or blender until ground fine.
Combine ground oats with flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium
bowl.
In a separate bowl combine the butter, sugars, vanilla and lemon juice
and mix with mixer until combined.
Add the eggs and mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and blend well.
Add the chocolate chips and macadamia nuts to the dough and mix by hand
until ingredients are well mixed.
Spoon rounded 1/4 cups full (yes, 1/4 cups!) onto ungreased, nonstick
cookie sheet.
Place scoops of dough 2" apart (you don't need to press dough flat).
Bake 16-18 minutes or until cookies are light brown and soft in the middle.
Let cool.
Store in sealed container to keep soft.
(for best results chill dough overnight).
