When stay-at-home orders forced all of us to postpone travel plans this year, executives at DoubleTree decided to break some good news - in the form of their secret cookie recipe. The hotel chain is famous for greeting guests with warm chocolate chip cookies, but since the popular treats arrived in 1986, DoubleTree has refused to give up the details. "Revealing the recipe was a big discussion," admits the chain's global head Shawn McAteer. Try the recipe yourself, and take note of the secret ingredient: lemon juice!
