Step 1

Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper, silicone mat, or aluminum foil with the glossy side down.

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Beat at a low speed just until combined. Gently mix in the chopped candy bits. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto lined cookie sheets, placing them 3 inches apart.

Step 6

Bake them for 10 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned. The centers will still be soft and moist.

Step 7

Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a glass of milk.
