Gluten-Free Nut-Free DoubleTree Signature Cookie Recipe
Being in quarantine doesn’t have a lot of highs, but one nice thing is that the world seems to be baking like crazy. For me, baking is a great stress reliever, and getting to eat the fruits of your labor is the greatest payoff. Hilton must have realized that’s true for everyone else too because in the middle of everyone’s self isolation they just released their top secret chocolate chip cookie recipe.
I remember staying at DoubleTree with my family when I was younger and getting these very special cookies. Who wouldn’t choose a hotel based on being served fresh, warm chocolate chip cookies–it’s the best! Now the whole world can enjoy their signature cookies from home.
Don’t get me wrong, the original recipe is perfection but since I was planning to bake these for friends and family who had a few food allergies, I decided to change it up a little bit. These are gluten-free and nut-free, but they still have that same delicious crunch and memorable flavor.
One big thing I did forgo, was the original recipe calls for letting them cool for an hour. If you haven’t eaten a freshly baked cookie off a hot pan and burned your mouth, have you even really lived? So yeah, I didn’t really follow that step but for the exact directions and ingredients make sure to check out the complete DoubleTree Signature Cookie Recipe for yourself. However you choose to make them, you won’t be disappointed.
