- 1 cup 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 If using salted butter, reduce the added salt.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and continue cooking until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the brown butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
