Baking Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar; mix until blended.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, then beat until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown, slightly underdone in the center.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge or three months in the freezer. Reheat at 350°F for a few minutes or in an air fryer for 3-5 minutes for a fresh taste. Consider serving warm with ice cream or drizzled with chocolate for added sweetness.
