Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, swirling it occasionally until it turns a beautiful golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, both sugars, and mix until well combined. Then, add the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft but will firm up while cooling.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious cookies!
