Tips

This is a super simple recipe, but there are some things you need to know to make sure you have the best possible cookies at the end of it all. These are simple tips, but they’ll make a vast improvement on the outcome of your cookies, so be sure to read them.

Fully Softened Butter

It’s important to be sure your butter is fully softened before creaming it with sugar. Even if you’re using a mixing machine, butter that isn’t fully softened won’t cream with sugar the same way. You’ll end up with a lumpy texture with tiny – or sometimes large – chunks of butter in the mixture.

Unsalted Butter

It can be tempting to simply use salted butter if you don’t have unsalted, but don’t do it! Two things happen when you use salted butter in a recipe that already has salt. First, the cookies will taste too salty. Secondly, the extra salt will change the way the cookies bake.

Always Line the Cookie Sheet

Don’t forego the parchment paper lining on your cookie sheet when making these copycat DoubleTree cookies. The parchment paper serves two purposes. One will make for better cookies, and the other will make life easier.

First, the parchment paper makes cleanup easy. You simply throw it away when you’re done. The other reason to use it is that you’ll be letting your cookies cool on the cookie sheet to finish the cooking process. The parchment paper helps keep the cookies from getting too done on the bottom.

Parchment Paper, Not Wax Paper

Be absolutely certain you grab parchment paper and not wax paper when lining your cookie sheet. Both of them look very similar, but if you put wax paper in your oven, you’ll find that your kitchen and beyond are a smoky mess. The wax will melt and cause a stinky haze to fill your kitchen and other adjacent rooms.

Serving Copycat DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies don’t need anything other than a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. They are absolutely perfect, just like their counterparts you find at the hotel. These cookies are absolutely filled to capacity with great flavor, and they need no dressing up of any kind.

Serve these cookies for a weeknight dessert, afternoon snack, at all kinds of parties, potlucks, and holiday get-togethers. They’re so easy and delicious, they’re the perfect choice for almost any occasion.

Storing Copycat DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies
