- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. 
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. 
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. 
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. 
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. 
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. 
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. 
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
