Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

To make brown butter, heat 1 stick of butter in a saucepan until it turns brown, stirring occasionally.

Once browned, remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Add the brown butter to a mixing bowl.

Add white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla sugar to the brown butter and whisk until combined.

Crack 1 egg into the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Gradually add flour little by little, mixing carefully to avoid flour flying everywhere.

Add salt and baking soda, then mix again.

Add chocolate chips using a spatula to fold them in.

If the dough is too dry, add about 1 tablespoon of milk and mix until cohesive.

Shape the cookie dough into balls or desired shapes.

Bake the cookies at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, checking for doneness.

Let the cookies cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
