- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue to cook, stirring frequently until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Mix the Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the browned butter and mix until well combined.
- Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Add the Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Chill the Dough: For best results, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills.
- Bake the Cookies: Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
