These decadent chocolate chip and pecan cookies are slightly adapted from Double Tree Hilton’s famous cookies.
I have been eyeing the Double Tree Hilton cookie recipes for a long time. I have never stayed there but people have such a love of the place just for their cookies. There are soooo many recipes out there trying to copy the much loved cookie.
The Hilton recently shared their beloved recipe and I jumped at the chance to make them. I have to say, they were pretty incredible. I understand the hype.
A couple of tweaks were made that worked better for us. I substituted the walnuts for pecans because they are just what I prefer and I almost always have them on hand. These could totally be replaced by any nuts. Almonds would be so amazing too. I also used mini chocolate chips. If you’re making chocolate chips cookies, every bite should have some!
I always prefer to use my small 1 5/8″ cookie scoop because I always think it makes the perfect size. Not too big and not too small. Halving the recipe and using this scoop yielded 24 cookies – enough to enjoy and share with friends.
Some of the copy cat recipes suggested grinding the oats and refrigerating the dough before baking. I didn’t do those things every time I made them and they turned out fine.
These chocolate chip and pecan cookies will definitely be making the rotation over here.
