Sift flour and baking soda into a medium bowl. Stir in salt.

In a stand mixer, beat half the butter on medium speed until fairly smooth.

Add both sugars and the remaining butter until well combined. Then beat for a few minutes until the mixture is light and creamy.

Add the dry ingredients and mix on low-speed to combined.

Mix in the chocolate.

Remove the bowl from mixer and fold the dough with a spatula to evenly combine the chocolate. The dough can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 weeks.
