Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring continuously until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5 minutes).
In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with granulated and brown sugars; beat until creamy. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in both types of chocolate chips.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (optional).
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop dough onto sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
Let cookies cool on sheets briefly before transferring them to wire racks.
