Instructions

Start by browning the butter. Make sure you are stirring and watching it, because it will turn the perfect light golden brown to burnt fairly quickly. Once finished browning, pour into a cup or bowl and allow to cool completely for about 15-20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Place the peanut butter and cooled brown butter together in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat about 1 minute until combined. Add both sugars and beat again 2-3 minutes until creamed. Add in egg and vanilla and mix.

Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. Fold in M&Ms.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough into balls and place 5-6 on a large cookie sheet. Sprinkle with flaked salt.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden brown. Sprinkle with extra salt after they’re done baking and let them cool on the cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes to help the center finish setting.
