Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; for vegan option, use plant-based butter.

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, around 3-5 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing in the vanilla extract alongside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the semisweet and milk chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
