__Ingredients:__
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– Holiday sprinkles, for garnish
__Directions:__
1. **Prepare the Dough**
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
– In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
– Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
2. **Combine Dry Ingredients**
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3. **Fold in Chocolate Chips**
– Gently fold in both the white chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
4. **Form Cookies**
– Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Decorate with holiday sprinkles if desired.
5. **Bake**
– Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
