- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars.
- Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time and combine until smooth.
- Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl then add the flour, ⅓ at a time, and mix on low until just incorporated.
- Gently stir in chocolates by hand with a spatula, or mix on low until just combined, being careful not to over mix.

- Let cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes then move to a cooling rack.
