3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour (more flour for dusting pans)
1/2 tsp. salt
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
1 tbsp. vanilla
3 sticks, unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 (12 oz bag) semisweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 325°F.

Coat two 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Dust pans with flour, shake out excess.

Stir together flour and salt, set aside. In a bowl, stir together eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla, set aside.

In a bowl, mix butter and sugar with mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium and gradually pour in egg mixture. Increase speed to medium-high, beat for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture, beating just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips.

Divide batter between pans evenly, smoothing top of batter with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Bake for 1 hour and 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool for 30 min on wire rack.
