Now.

If you've ever stayed the night at a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel, you won't be a stranger to the perfectly warm, ooey gooey, chocolate chip and walnut cookie that welcomes you as you begin your stay. 

This cookie is without a doubt, easily the best thing about staying at a DoubleTree and it's the reason that everyone from colleagues in my workplace to friends and family who have stayed there, have told me, 'if you stay at the DoubleTree, ALWAYS ask if you can get an extra cookie.'

The outstanding staff will usually oblige ;) 

In fact, the cookies are so popular, that if you're in the US, you can buy them directly from www.doubletreecookies.com - either as ready made cookies, or dough to bake at home.

Unfortunately for those of us outside the US, the company doesn't ship internationally, so if you do want to get your hands on this delight, here's a recipe for the ultimate DoubleTree cookie. 

Enjoy!

1/2 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
