Fact Sheet

About the Doubletree Cookies:
Doubletree Hotels, Suites, Resorts and Clubs have built a reputation on a unique treat that keeps leisure and business travelers coming back for more: its legendary chocolate chip cookie presented to each guest at check-in. Synonymous with Doubletree hospitality, the cookie has played a starring role in differentiating the Doubletree hotel brand from its competition.

The legendary chocolate chip cookie is presented to each guest at check-in and is synonymous with Doubletree hospitality. Started in the early 1980s when many properties across the country gave cookies as treats to VIP guests, the Doubletree cookie has become a guilty pleasure for every Doubletree hotel guest. In 1995, Doubletree enlisted the services of the Nashville-based Christie Cookie Company to prepare the secret recipe, which ensures that the same, delicious cookie is delivered consistently at every Doubletree property. The hearty two-ounce Doubletree chocolate chip cookie boasts an average of 20 chocolate chips and is baked fresh daily.

Availability:
The Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel is one of two places in the Big Apple where guests can experience the Doubletree chocolate chip cookie. Janice, the hotel’s baker has worked at the hotel for 23 years and bakes over 400,000 cookies a year. For those who cannot live without their Doubletree cookies, even when they are at home, a Sweet Treat tin of Doubletree cookies (six per tin) can be shipped anywhere in the U.S. and Canada for $8.95 by placing an order at www.doubletreecookies.com.
