Step 1
Heat butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium until it foams, turns golden, and smells nutty, ~5 minutes. Cool 2 minutes.
Step 2
Pour brown butter into a bowl. Whisk in brown sugar, granulated sugar, and egg until smooth.
Step 3
Fold in flour and a pinch of salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 4
Drop 2-tbsp portions onto a sheet pan, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
Step 5
Cookies should look underbaked at the center—they will continue cooking as they cool. Cool on pan 5 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer to a wire rack. They'll firm up as they cool, edges crispy and centers chewy.
