Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Stir often to avoid burning. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Add the cooled browned butter and mix until smooth.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a fork, press down each ball lightly in a crisscross pattern to create the classic peanut butter cookie look.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the top of each cookie.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look slightly underbaked to ensure a soft texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these rich, salty-sweet peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
