The DoubleTree is famous for their cookies, but what happens when those loved cookies are fried?
DoubleTree by Hilton is celebrating adding their 500th DoubleTree Hotel, a milestone, by giving you a free Cook(ie) Book featuring chocolate chip cookie treats like the Deep Fried Cookie Delight, invented by their properties around the world. The creations are all made with their famous cookie presented warm to every guest upon check-in. The tradition started in 1986 and they give away more than 75,000 of these delicious treats everyday. Sorry, their signature cookie recipe is a guarded secret and is not shared in this book but imaginative uses of their cookie is presented in anything from cocktails to sweet delights. You can order ready-made DoubleTree Cookie dough, baked cookies or the collectible tins. Get your own copy of the Cook(ie) Book with all of the imaginative 33 cookies .
Never fear, you will still get the luscious chocolate chip cookie on arrival but will also be able to feast on a featured cookie by the 33 individual hotels either in their restaurant, via room service or on the bar menus. One of my favorite properties is just outside of San Francisco, the Double Tree By Hilton Hotel San Francisco Airport. It offers views of the bay, walking and hiking trail along the bay, easy access to the city of San Francisco and of course the SFO Airport. Rooms are large, stylish and the rates are an incredible value for the area. There is also a 24-hour free shuttle to the airport and free WiFi along with the other DoubleTree amenities. Their cookie creation is a fried cookie-all the rage- and billed as a pancake! Breakfast? Afternoon treat? Well of course that is up to you.

Description
Deep-fried DoubleTree cookie? Yes, really! This decadent treat is served warm with ice cream and berries – pure indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 DoubleTree Cookie
- 2 cups (473 ml) mixed pancake batter
- Powdered sugar
- Ice cream of choice
- Assorted berries and sprig of mint for garnish
Instructions
- Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F. Use a thermometer to keep the temperature steady.
- While the oil heats, prepare the pancake batter according to package directions, keeping it slightly thick so it clings to the cookie.
- Using a fork or tongs, dip the DoubleTree cookie into the batter, turning to coat completely. Let the excess drip off for a moment.
- Carefully lower the battered cookie into the hot oil. Fry for about 30 seconds per side, flipping once, until golden brown all over.
- Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels for about 30 seconds.
- Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm.
- Plate with a scoop of ice cream alongside, and garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure your pancake batter is not too thick; thin it with a splash of milk or water for optimal coating.
- For a richer flavor, use vanilla bean ice cream and top with fresh raspberry sauce.
- Store leftover fried cookies (if any!) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 hours; best served immediately.
