Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Butter: Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring gently until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Combine cooled brown butter with ¾ cup brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth, then add 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, stirring thoroughly.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together 2 ¼ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Drop rounded spoonfuls on the sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
