Every Dinner Needs Dessert - Black and White Cookies

My Black and White Cookies

In a glass bowl melt completely, 2 cups of butter

In a separate bowl (on a stand mixer preferably) mix:
2 C sugar
2 C brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
Add melted butter

To this mixture add:
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
6 1/2 C flour, more if needed so thaot dough is not runny, and up to 7 1/2 C for high altitudes

1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/4 C white chocolate chips (use good ones!)

Using a #30 or 1 oz. scoop, place 12 cookie balls on an ungreased baking sheet.  In a regular oven, bake one sheet at at time for 11 minutes at 350 degrees F.

In a convection oven, bake 3 sheets at a time for 10 minutes at 325 degrees F.

Cool for 2-3 minutes before removing to cooling racks, or waxed paper on a counter (my favorite method) to continue cooling.  Yield is about 6 dozen.

This recipe is easily halved.  However, being the freezer user that I am, make the large recipe, bake what you need and freeze the remaining dough as pre-made cookie balls. 

To do so: Continue scooping the dough into balls with the #30 scoop and place on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet.  Freeze.  When firm, place in Ziploc or other self-sealing bags.  I usually place a dozen in each bag.  This makes for a dessert-sized portions.  Write simple directions on the bag:  Bake at 350 degrees F for 11 min.  Return to freezer.

This has also made a nice thank you gift, especially frozen!
