Ingredients
Scale

- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt

- 3 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla; mix until well combined.

- Gently fold in mini chocolate chips and vanilla milk chips using a rubber spatula.
- Pour the dough into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown around the edges; allow cooling completely before frosting.
- For the frosting, beat softened butter with powdered sugar until crumbly; then add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Spread frosting over cooled cookie bars, cut into squares, and serve.
