Preparation Steps

• In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma; remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Stir the browned butter into the sugar mixture until combined.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.
• Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
