Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:

- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, browned
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Step 1: Brown the Butter
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Chill the Dough
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Step 4: Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop 1 ½-ounce portions of dough onto the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes, until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
