Doubletree releases its chocolate chip cookie recipe

Doubletree hotels (part of Hilton) has released its chocolate chip cookie recipe, see cookie recipe.

The ingredients aren't that surprising, though there is a bit of lemon juice and a pinch of cinnamon.

That lemon juice and cinnamon and maybe the oats seem to be the only variation on a familiar recipe. I wonder what the lemon juice does?

I noticed it bakes at a relatively low temperature too, 300 degrees. I normally bake chocolate chip cookies at 375.

Acids in cookie doughs cause the proteins in the flour to firm up more, producing chewier cookies. The acid would also react with the baking soda, increasing rise.

I've seen some cookie doughs that use cream of tartar (or baking powder) for similar reasons, but lemon juice should also pair well with the chocolate.
