• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 36

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1  cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 1  cup  packed light-brown sugar
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 2  teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2  large eggs
• 1  cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1  cup  milk chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
2. Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
