Step 1
Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium until it foams, then turns golden brown with a nutty smell, ~4 minutes.
Step 2
Pour brown butter into a bowl. Stir in brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
Step 3
Fold in flour and chocolate chips until just combined. Don't overmix.
Step 4
Drop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Step 5
Bake at 350°F until edges look golden brown but centers still look slightly underbaked, ~8 minutes.
Step 6
Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack. They'll crisp as they cool.
