Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (113.5 g) salted butter browned and cooled
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup (140 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (118.29 g) m&m's mine was a heaping ½ cup
  • ½ cup (90 g) chocolate chips
  • flaked salt for topping

Instructions
 

  • Start by browning the butter. You'll take ½ cup of butter and melt in a medium saucepan, and then continue to cook past the point of boiling. You will do this over medium heat, past the point of the butter foaming, until it turns a nice golden brown, and has a nutty smell. Make sure you are stirring and watching it, because it will turn from perfectly brown to burnt fairly quickly. Once finished browning, pour into a cup or bowl and allow to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F, and line an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray and parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together browned butter and brown sugar until combined. Add egg, yolk and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Stir in cornstarch, salt and flour. Then very carefully fold in m&m's and chocolate chips.
  • Pour into prepared baking pan and smooth with a spatula to make even for baking. Top with a few more m&m's and flaked salt.
  • Bake for 20-23 minutes or until light golden brown along the edges. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

Add in ¼ cup of red and green sprinkles for extra holiday fun!
You want to make sure and not over bake these. They will continue to set up as they cool.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
