Ingredients
Scale:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, browned
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the browned butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
