DoubleTree Signature, Warm Cookie

DoubleTree by Hilton is famous for its proud tradition of greeting guests with its signature, warm DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie at check-in, symbolizing a warm welcome and comfortable stay.

For the first time ever, DoubleTree by Hilton is sharing the official bake‑at‑home recipe for the brand’s beloved and delicious chocolate chip cookie, so at‑home bakers can create the warm and comforting treat in their own kitchens. 

More than 20 million are consumed every year, and the DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie even became the first food to be baked in orbit during experiments aboard the International Space Station. 

It All Starts With The Warm DoubleTree Cookie

The simple gesture of offering a warm DoubleTree Cookie at check-in has become synonymous with the brand's commitment to providing guests with a warm welcome and unforgettable stay. For more than 30 years, the warm DoubleTree Cookie has played a starring role in differentiating our brand's hospitality from the competition.
