Start with 2 cups of melted butter, 2 cups of packed brown sugar, and 1 cup of granulated white sugar in a mixing bowl.

Mix the butter and sugars together for about 3 to 5 minutes until light and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, combine 6 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 3 teaspoons of baking soda, then stir together.

Add 4 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture and mix for about 3 to 4 minutes until fully incorporated.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Stir in 2 cups of milk chocolate chips by hand to avoid breaking them up too much, then add 2 cups of mint chocolate chips.

Scoop out cookie dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Flatten the cookies slightly and sprinkle an extra half cup of mint chips on top of each cookie.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 11 minutes.

Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
