Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and stir (or beat on low) until almost combined; add the chocolate chips.

Take 1 1/2″ chunks of dough and shape them into hearts, inserting a stick in the pointed end. Place a couple inches apart on a parchment or silpat-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until pale golden and set. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Makes 1 1/2-2 dozen largish cookie pops.
