Free cookie alert: Stop at any DoubleTree by Hilton this monday and get a free cookie
Few things in life are better than a free cookie — especially the iconic chocolate chip cookies offered at DoubleTree by Hilton.
And this Monday, you don't even have to be a guest to get one. To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day on Aug. 4, DoubleTree by Hilton locations across the U.S. are giving away regular and allergy-friendly chocolate chip cookies to anyone who stops by.
You read that right: Whether you're a hotel guest or just live near a DoubleTree, the cookie is yours.

"On National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, we're proud to extend that warmth beyond our hotel guests, offering a taste of the welcoming service that makes travelers feel genuinely cared for," Shawn McAteer, DoubleTree by Hilton's brand leader, said in a statement. "Our chocolate chip cookie at check-in remains a timeless symbol of the simple gestures that the DoubleTree by Hilton stay experience is known for."
The cookies, which have been around since 1986, are very much part of the DoubleTree experience; according to Hilton, the brand gives out more than 20 million every year. To make the cookies more inclusive, DoubleTree introduced a new version that's gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan and made in an allergen-free facility.
Some might even say the cookies are out of this world — back in 2019, the DoubleTree cookie became the first-ever food baked in space, thanks to astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Nowadays, you can see that cookie at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia.
Later this year, Doubletree by Hilton will in also introduce the "cookie-tini," a cookie-themed martini at Piebird, the brand's restaurant concept rolling out at select hotels.
While there are nearly 400 U.S. DoubleTree by Hilton locations where you can snag a free cookie, Hilton has also shared the recipe so you can make them at home.
