Instructions

(If baking right away, preheat oven to 350 degrees F, or wait till dough is chilled to preheat.) Line baking sheets with parchment paper, or use baking stones. In skillet over medium heat, melt one stick of butter. Stir occasionally, until frothy and brown bits appear and butter smells nutty, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour in bowl to slightly cool.
In a bowl attached to a stand mixer (or with hand mixer), cream together the other stick of softened butter, cooled brown butter, sugar, brown sugar, and molasses for several minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for several minutes until light and creamy.
In separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt. With mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the batter until just combined. Stir in chocolate. (You can then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and stick in the fridge for at least an hour or up to several days.)
With a medium-sized cookie scoop, scoop out dough onto prepared baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring onto wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
