  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar Dark brown sugar can be used for a richer taste.

Preparation
  1. Brown the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it bubbles and turns golden brown.
  2. Mix sugars: In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with granulated and brown sugar, stirring until creamy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.

  6. Chill the dough: Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
