Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is fully melted, turn the heat up to high and stir constantly until it foams and becomes golden brown. As soon as you see the brown bits, take the pan off the heat and allow the butter to cool to room temperature.
In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, beat together the cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg yolks, discard, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Add the dry ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Portion out the cookies into 1.5 tbsp balls using a cookie scoop and place them in the fridge to firm up for about 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet, leaving a few inches of space between each one.
Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden. The centers may look underbaked, but they will continue to set as they cool. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy!
