Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies {DoubleTree Copycat}

If you have checked into a DoubleTree Hotel, you have probably been given a delicious and warm chocolate chip cookie. The cookie has become their signature. In fact, you can even buy their cookies. But, why buy them when you can make your own batch of these walnut chocolate chip cookies? This is the recipe they recently released to the world! If you love nuts in cookies, be sure to also try my White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, too!

Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

Room Temperature Ingredients: For best results, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. Butter needs to be at room temperature (65°F) for it to cream properly with the sugar.

Brown Sugar: Use light brown sugar. Light brown sugar contains about 3 1/2% molasses, compared to double that in dark brown sugar.

Chocolate Chips: Go with semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Walnuts: I love the added crunch and flavor the walnuts give these cookies. However, leave them out if you prefer.

How to Store Cookies

Store the leftovers in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to 5 days. Wrap a cookie in a paper towel and warm it up in the microwave for 15-25 seconds for a just-baked type cookie.

Can I Freeze Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Yes! With this recipe making such a large batch, it’s good to know that you can freeze the baked cookies OR the cookie dough. To freeze the cookies after they have been baked, let them cool completely. Place the cooled cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer for 1-2 hours. Remove from the freezer and store in a freezer-safe container for 3-4 weeks.

To freeze the dough, place the balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until the dough balls are completely frozen. Once frozen, transfer the dough to freezer-safe zipper bags. When ready to bake, simply bake as many of the cookies as you need from frozen. You may need to increase the baking time by 1-2 minutes.
