Instructions
Brown Butter
Slice butter into small pieces. Heat butter slices in a skillet on medium heat. Stir frequently. Butter will foam as it cooks. Continue to stir until you see brown specks forming. It's easy to go from perfectly browned butter to black, burnt butter so watch carefully and remove from heat as soon you smell the nutty aroma and see the brown specks form. Pour into a bowl to allow the butter to cool to room temperature before baking.
Cookie Dough
Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt together in a bowl. Set aside. In a separate mixing bowl cream brown sugar, white sugar and cooled brown butter. Mix in eggs. Add vanilla and milk and mix until smooth. Add dry ingredients and mix completely. Stir in chocolate chips.
Chill
Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough then roll each into a ball. Place all 36 cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet (and cover with plastic wrap). Chill 4 hours. Once chilled, simply place the cookie dough balls on an ungreased (or parchment-lined) baking sheet.
Bake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake cookies 12-14 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Store cookies in airtight container.Note: If you'd prefer to chill the entire bowl of dough, cover it in plastic wrap. Once chilled, let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes to slightly soften the dough enough to scoop into balls.
