Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter Melted and browned
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma (5 to 7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well until everything is well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
- Drop tablespoons of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them a few inches apart.
Baking
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden edges and soft centers appear.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
