Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter
  
  

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  
  

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 large eggs
  
  

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
  

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  
  

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
   
   

2. In a large bowl, whisk together browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
   
   

3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
   
   

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
   
   

5. Fold in chocolate chips.
   
   

6. Chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
   
   

7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
   
   

8. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
   
   

9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers look set.
   
   

10. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
