Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and milk chocolate chunks using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm for gooey centers or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
