Equipment

  • 1 cookie sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 sticks of salted butter
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Second, cream the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  • Third, combine the baking powder, baking soda, flour, and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Next, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until cookie dough forms.
  • Then, add the milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dough and incorporate them.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, measure the cookies and place them on the parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • Pop the cookies into the freezer for 15 minutes to let the dough set.
  • Next, bake the cookies in batches on the parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Remember that these cookies are BIG and FLAT, so you must space them accordingly.
  • Then, bake the cookies for about 18 minutes. They will become slightly golden brown. Tap them down to flatten before you pull them out of the oven.
  • Finally, serve these delicious cookies with ice-cold milk or ice cream, and enjoy!
