This is truly the BEST recipe clone for the DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies. DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels has been welcoming guests for 30 years with these complimentary cookies. The cookies are presented warm, packed full of gooey chocolate chips, a little bit of oats and crunchy walnuts. These cookies are one of our favorites and we look forward to them when we stay at one their hotels. I've tried a few copycat versions of this recipe, but this one is IT!
