Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. This step is crucial for thick, chewy cookies!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop generous mounds of dough (about 2-3 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft and gooey. Do not overbake!
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
