In a light-colored skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat, whisking constantly for about 5-8 minutes until it foams and develops golden brown specks. Remove from heat and let cool for approximately 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a mixer until combined, about 1 minute.
Add one room-temperature egg and the pure vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until a thick dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-tablespoon balls and place them on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
Place the chilled dough balls about 3 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Bake for 12-13 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
