Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Cream together 1 cup of softened butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Incorporate 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, beating until smooth.

Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and ½ teaspoon of salt, blending on low speed.

Gradually mix in 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour until fully incorporated.

Divide the dough into three equal portions, placing each in its own bowl.

Color two portions with gel food coloring—one orange and one brown, kneading until incorporated.

Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips into each dough portion.

Shape pieces from each colored dough into roughly 2 oz balls, flattening slightly.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown edges form.

Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
