Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies: Chewy

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk constantly until it foams and turns a deep amber brown with a nutty aroma, then remove from heat immediately.
2. In a large bowl, combine the browned butter with white and brown sugars. Beat on medium-high until the mixture looks like wet sand.
3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is glossy.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed or fold by hand until just a few streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
6. Gently stir in the chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
