Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 ¼ cups Butter Essential for richness and flavor; browning it adds nutty depth.
  • ¾ cups Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and helps achieve crispy edges; decrease for a less sweet cookie.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Brings moisture and a caramel flavor, key for that chewy texture.
  • 2 ¾ cups All-Purpose Flour Provides the structure; be sure to measure correctly to avoid dense cookies.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent, helping the cookies rise perfectly.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Balances the sweetness; use ¾ teaspoon if using unsalted butter for optimal flavor.
  • 2 to 2 ½ cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips Adds richness and sweetness; feel free to substitute with dark chocolate for a bolder taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 1 ¼ cups of salted butter, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Cool the Butter: Transfer the brown butter into a bowl and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Mix Sugars: Add ¾ cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of packed brown sugar to the bowl. Cream them with the butter for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract into the mixture and mix until combined.
  6. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together 2 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Stir into the wet ingredients.
  7. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 2 to 2 ½ cups of semisweet chocolate chips.
  8. Shape and Bake: Scoop the dough into ¼ cup-sized balls and place them on baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  9. Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
