Preparation

Preparation

1. Brown the Butter

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

2. Cool the Butter

Remove the browned butter from heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.

4. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

5. Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Chill the Dough

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour, or until firm.

Baking

7. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

8. Scoop the Dough

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

9. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.

10. Cool

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
