• In a medium saucepan over medium heat melt the butter and bring it to a boil. Once it starts boiling swirl the pan, or stir constantly until the butter passes the foamy phase and becomes a deep amber color.
• Remove from heat and allow butter to cool for 20 minutes.
• While the butter is cooling preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and salt into the cooled butter and stir to combine using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
• Stir in the flour until the dough comes together and the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Finally mix in the chocolate chips.
• Using a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoon sized), scoop the dough out onto the lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart. *See note in the post for my trick to pretty cookie tops!
• Bake the cookies for 10 – 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookie to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 
• If desired, sprinkle a small amount of flaked sea salt on top of the cookies as they are cooling.
