Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling often, until nutty brown, ~6 minutes. Pour into a bowl and let cool 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla into the browned butter until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Fold in flour and salt until no dry streaks remain. Fold in chocolate chips.

  4. Step 4

    Drop 1-inch mounds onto a sheet pan, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake at 375°F for 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers still soft.

  5. Step 5

    Cool on the pan for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
