Another day another chocolate chip cookie. I have been eyeing these cookies ever since I saw this recipe online. As you may know I love chocolate chip cookies (who doesn't?!), and these Double Tree Chocolate Chip Cookies have everything; mini chocolate chips, oats, walnuts...and their massive! If you are a chocolate chip cookie junkie (like me), you gotta make these.
These are the cookies that the Double Tree Hotel chain serve to their guests upon check-in, how hospitable is that?! I think we should get greeted with fresh, warm cookies everywhere on arrival ?.
Back to the cookies...
Making these particular cookies is pretty easy, you've got your typical CC cookie ingredients. If you love chocolate chip cookie dough be careful - this cookie dough is SO good. Once you have the dough ready your going to measure out a ¼ cup of cookie dough for each cookie. As I rolled each cookie dough ball I rolled one side through mini chocolate chips. this is completely optional as the original recipe doesn't instruct you to do so but it makes the mini chocolate chips pop once they're baked and gives a yummy presentation.
