Brown Butter M&M Cookies instructions

1. Place butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and heat until golden brown specks appear, swirling the pan occasionally. Butter will get foamy and if you swirl the pan around, you will see brown bits at the bottom and it will have a nutty smell. Remove from heat and pour into a small bowl. Make sure to get all those browned bits at the bottom of the pan, that is where all the flavor is. Allow to cool until it becomes solid or refrigerate to speed up the process..
2. When brown butter is solid. Cream together brown butter, brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla and milk and beat until combined..
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt..
4. Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until just combined..
5. Stir in one cup of M&M's. Chill dough for at least one hour or overnight..
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough into balls, around 1½ Tablespoons of dough per cookie. Press a few extra M&M's onto the top of each dough ball. Bake for 7- 9 minutes. Cookies will look underdone, but set up perfectly once they cool. Do not over bake or the cookies will be dry. Makes 24-30 cookies..
