Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the browned butter cool slightly.

Mix the brown butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl until well combined.

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
