Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Blend in the butter, a few cubes at a time, with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal.
Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Add buttermilk in a steady stream, stirring with a dough whisk or wooden spoon just until dough forms. Add chives and gently stir until chives are evenly distributed. Don’t overmix or your biscuits will be tough.
Divide dough into 4 mounds (biscuits will be large) and place on nonstick baking sheet or regular baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking liner (such as SILPAT®). Bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
Notes
Watching fat? These biscuits are high in Saturated Fat due to the butter and cheese. If you are concerned about Saturated Fat, I’d recommend making smaller biscuits or reducing the amount of cheese.
