DoubleTree by Hilton has released a bake-at-home version of its secret chocolate chip cookie recipe, the same cookies baked fresh and served warm to arriving guests at each of its hotels.

They’ve been baked in space, handed out to 30 million guests a year and now Hilton will tell you how to make them.

A bake-at-home version of DoubleTree by Hilton’s secret chocolate chip cookie recipe has been released.

The recipe release allows people to make the same cookies baked fresh and served warm to arriving guests at each of the chain’s hotels, as millions of Americans find themselves isolated at home during the coronavirus pandemic.

“We know this is an anxious time for everyone. A warm chocolate chip cookie can’t solve everything, but it can bring a moment of comfort and happiness,” said DoubleTree by Hillton Senior Vice President and Global Head Shawn McAteer.

Last summer, DoubleTree sent a batch of its cookie dough to the International Space Station as part of a test of a prototype zero gravity oven, the first food ever baked in space.

DoubleTree started giving guests the cookies at check-in in the 1980s as VIP treats.

Per the hotel chain, each cookie has an average of 20 chocolate chips, and it goes through more than one million pounds of chocolate chips each year.

The DoubleTree says the recipe has been a secret, until now.

It sells the cookies and raw dough on its website.
