Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe: Chewy

Instructions:

1. Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Melt and cook, whisking constantly, until butter foams and small brown specks appear. Remove from heat and cool for 5-10 minutes.
2. Whisk the browned butter with white and brown sugars until smooth.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture looks glossy and pale.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
8. Chill the trays in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, removing when edges are golden but centers remain slightly soft.
10. Let the cookies set on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
