Brown the Butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Watch closely to avoid burning!

Mix the Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the brown butter (cool it slightly first!), and mix until well combined.

Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.

Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.

Chill the Dough: For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.

Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
