Jump to Recipe

We’ve been seeing this cookie recipe all over the internet lately and knew we had to veganize it. If you’ve never heard of these cookies before, DoubleTree by Hilton offers these cookies to guests at check-in and they became very popular. They finally released the recipe for their famous chocolate chip cookies to the public, and although we’ve never had them ourselves, they looked so good that we knew we had to make a vegan version of them.

These cookies are so delicious for so many reasons. They’re huge (~1/4 cup of dough each!), filled with add-ins (chocolate chips, oats, and walnuts), and baked at a low temperature for a longer-than-usual time so that they’re crispy on the edges and still soft in the center.

Our vegan version uses vegan butter in place of non-vegan butter and nondairy milk in place of eggs. We also opted for a smaller batch, yielding ~14 large cookies.

You’ll need:

Vegan buttery sticks

Sugar

Brown sugar

Nondairy milk + lemon juice

All purpose flour

Baking soda, cinnamon and salt

And finally, nondairy chocolate chips, oats, and walnuts!

Each cookie is a whole 1/4 cup of dough and loaded with chocolatey, crunchy goodness so you know they’ve got to be good.

If you love cookies, we highly recommend making these. They’re deliciously decadent and a huge crowd-pleaser.

Servings 14 cookies

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) non-dairy milk + 1/4 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup [113 g]) vegan butter slightly softened*
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp [80 g] granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp [82 g] packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup (156 g) all-purpose flour measured correctly*
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (20 g) traditional rolled oats
  • 1 1/3 cup (226 g) vegan chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (112 g) chopped walnuts

Optional topping

  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice and milk and set aside.

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the vegan butter with the sugar and brown sugar for ~2 minutes, until light and fluffy.

  • Add milk mixture and vanilla to the butter mixture, beating again until light and fluffy.

  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix until fully combined.

  • Fold in the oats, chocolate chips and walnuts.

  • Scoop out 1/4 cup of dough for each cookie, roll into balls and place onto the parchment lined trays. Leave room in between each for spreading. Slightly press down each ball.

  • Bake for 20-22 minutes, until edges are golden brown. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow to cool then enjoy!

Notes

*You want the vegan butter to be slightly soft for this recipe so that it mixes well with the other ingredients, but not too soft or your cookies may spread too much. We recommend bringing the butter out of the fridge ~30 minutes (max 2 hours) prior to using.

**Measure your flour using this method, or your cookies may turn out dry and won’t flatten.

    These cookies are so good but they fall apart easily — this needs a binder, maybe a flax egg?

      Hi Emily, thanks for your comment! These shouldn’t fall apart – none of our cookie recipes require a flax egg binder. Make sure you measure the flour correctly and don’t over-bake them. They are supposed to be a slightly crispier cookie, but still soft in the center. Hope this helps!

      These are the best! I measured the flour in measuring cups and then on scale and was a little short so added more! They are perfect! I have been craving a good chocolate chip cookie and forgot. Had made these m y months ago and fell in love!Thank you for an amazing recipe!

      Craved oatmeal cookies so I baked this recipe. So good, but is there another ingredient to use in place of the sugar? Or better to reduce the sugar measurement? I would definitely make this again.

    Wow, wow, wow. Better than any milk and egg cookies I’ve ever eaten. I’m currently overloaded with fresh mint, so I actually infused my butter with it on the stovetop and then refrigerated the dough a couple hours before baking. Did I say wow? This is hands down my new chocolate chip go-to! Thank you so much!

    I have made the Doubletree recipe a few times this year and tonight I figured I’d try making them vegan and stumbled across your post.
    These are amazing!!! Seriously the closest I have gotten to taste and texture of the Doubletree Cookies I love so much. Thank for this fabulous recipe!! It’s a keeper for sure.

    In the “what you’ll need” section baking powder is listed, but not listed in the recipe. Is baking powder needed for this recipe? Thanks.

    Hello!
    How long do these cookies keep? (If I wanted to make ahead)

      Hi Emi! We’d recommend storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-5 days. If you’d like them to keep longer, put them in the refrigerator or freezer.

      Hi Nicoletta! The oven temperature is correct. Make sure to let them cool on the baking sheet before enjoying (they should firm up as they sit). Hope they still tasted great!

        The absolute best cookie recipe of all time. I have used pecans and hazelnuts instead of walnuts when I was in a pinch and it worked perfectly! Everyone who has every tried them has begged for the recipe.

    I just made these, followed the recipe to a t, they spread out loaaads and were barely baked after 12 minutes 🙁 the dough was chilled, the baking sheet was cool, the oven was preheated what did I do wrong?

    Question: mixed these and test-baked four, but they were very flat (thin) and crispy…what could I have done wrong?
    PS: I made them with all same ingredients and used the recommended flour measuring technique. Suspecting dough temp issue, I refrigerated the remainder overnight and test-baked four more with cold dough, with same poor result. They taste great but texture is not as intended.

    Fantastic recipe! They look and taste amazing. I baked them a little longer (24 minutes) for them to brown, but I’m using new (air flow) baking sheets and no parchment paper. Note: The dough that sat out longest flattened and spread more.

    These are incredible. I have made them multiple times and they come out great every time. I have multiple non vegan friends saying it’s their new “go to” chocolate chip cookies recipes. Winning! They freeze and defrost perfectly as well.

    Hopefully you meant vegan chocolate chips! I would be sure to emphasize that or these are not vegan. They look yummy but I’ll have to switch out the chocolate and just wanted to say this in case anyone doesn’t know.

    So so good! This was my first time using “stick version” of vegan butter and I am so happy I tracked some down for this recipe. Big, coffee-shop-style cookies that hold together well and have melty chocolate chips at the centre. Perfection! My only change was subbing pecans for the walnuts. I noticed when I creamed the ingredients that spending a few minutes (as the recipe instructs) made a huge difference in the texture. The batter went from lumpy to smooth to airy/fluffy.

    Have made these twice already and the first time I didn’t have the have enough chocolate chips and walnuts but they still turned out great. The second time I added the right amount of choc chips and walnuts and they were bursting chocolate. I prefer a more balanced chocolate to cookie ratio so I usually add less but either way they are amazing!!!

    These taste delicious, but I followed the recipe exactly, even measuring the flour as directed, & they turned out really flat. I refrigerated the second half of the dough to see if it would make a difference, but they were still flat. Not sure why! Loved the taste & chewy center though.
