Step 1
Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium until it foams and turns amber, ~5 minutes. Pour into a bowl and let cool 2 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk brown sugar, granulated sugar, and egg into the cooled butter until combined, ~1 minute.
Step 3
Fold in flour, salt, and baking soda (pinch of each) until just mixed. Fold in chocolate chunks.
Step 4
Scoop dough into 12 balls on a parchment-lined sheet pan, spacing 2 inches apart.
Step 5
Bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes until golden brown at edges but centers still look slightly underbaked.
Step 6
Cool on the pan for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
