Following are a few “tid-bites” about the Doubletree chocolate chip cookie:

Across North America, Doubletree gives out approximately 29,000 chocolate chip cookies each day. That’s more than 10,500,000 each year!

Doubletree began giving out chocolate chip cookies in the early 1980s, when many properties across the country used them as treats for VIPs.

In 1995, Doubletree enlisted the services of Nashville-based Christie Cookie Company to hold the brand’s secret recipe, which ensures that the same, delicious cookie is delivered consistently at every Doubletree property.

Every Doubletree chocolate chip cookie is baked fresh daily at each property.

Each cookie weighs a hearty 2 ˝ ounces and has an average of 20 chocolate chips.

The Christie Cookie Company uses more than 580,000 pounds of chocolate chips each year for Doubletree’s cookies.

In June 2002, Doubletree gave its 100,000,000th cookie!

To date, more than 115,000,000 cookies have been served to delighted guests and customers
