Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie - AKA Doubletree Hotel Copy Cat Cookie

So, ever since I tasted a Doubletree Hotel cookie I have been obsessed.  If you have never had one, it is simply cookie perfection.  No really, it IS!!!!!!!

So in my quest to find a good copy cat recipe, I stumbled upon Food Geeks interpretation of what a Doubletree Cookie tastes like.  It’s not exactly it, but it sure is close.  REAL CLOSE!

Ingredients:

¼ cup rolled oats

1 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

¾ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

pinch of cinnamon

½ cup of unsalted butter

¼ cup + 2 tbsp brown sugar

¼ cup + 2 tbsp white sugar

¾ tsp vanilla

¼ tsp lemon juice

1 egg

¼ cup dark chocolate morsels

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels

½ cup milk chocolate morsels

½ cup coarsely chopped pecans

Directions:

~ Preheat oven to 325 degrees (I’m a low and slow gal)

~ Grind rolled oats in a food processor until fine

~ Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside

~ In the bowl of an electric mix, cream butter, sugars, vanilla and lemon juice

~ Add egg and mix until combined

~Scrape down sides if necessary

~ Add flour mixture and mix until combined

~ Fold in chocolate chips and nuts

~ Chill dough for 30 minutes or overnight (I did 30 minutes, I just can’t make a cookie dough today and eat it tomorrow – sooooo not my style)

~ Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and scoop dough onto sheet

~ Bake for 15 – 20 minutes

~ Remove from oven, let cool and enjoy (in my case IMMEDIATELY!)

Stay Sweet!
