Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a saucepan, add butter oven medium low heat. Let butter melt completely, and swirl around in the pan every few seconds. Allow butter to simmer until it starts turning brown. Once butter turns to brown, immediately remove from heat and pour into glass bowl. Cool completely before using.
In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder).
In a stand mixer, cream together shortening and brown sugar. Add browned butter, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Then add the eggs one at a time until just mixed in.
While mixing, slowly add flour until everything is added and cookie dough is completely mixed together. Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate cookie dough for at least 30 minutes.
Scoop dough into 1-2 inch balls and place on baking sheet. Leave a few inches of space between each ball.Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are beginning to turn golden brown.
