Full Recipe:
1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1 cup (220 g) packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the semisweet and milk chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
