Preparation Steps
Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and nutty. Let it cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, whisk the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth.
Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
Scoop the dough into 12 balls and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes until the edges are golden. Let cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
