In the small sauce pan, place the butter over medium heat. Stir the butter occasionally.
After the butter has melted, it will start to get foamy, this is normal. You can even hear some crackly noises that butter makes.
Butter will change color to darker orange. You will see little brown speckles form at the bottom of the pan.
Let the butter continue to brown for a few minutes. The whole process took me about 5-7 minutes.
Remove brown butter from the heat and transfer into the bowl. Allow to cool and place in the fridge until use.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
In the mixing bowl, sift all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In the mixing bowl, add brown butter and granulated white sugar. Using pedal attachment, beat for 10-15 seconds or until all is incorporated.
Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat again for 15-20 seconds.
Add dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Using an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop, make a dough ball with all the dough.
Roll balls in granulated sugar (optional).
Place balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until golden on the edges.
Allow cookies to cool on the wire rack.

Get all ingredients and tools ready before baking.

Do not overbake cookies.
