Browned Butter MnM Cookies. Browned Butter M & M Cookies. Brown Butter M&M Cookies Soft baked and delightfully chewy brown butter cookies are loaded with crunchy chocolate m&m's. Use the classic colors, or get festive and use the red and green holiday variety - both ways are equally delicious.

I'm making these for a Cinco de Mayo party for my Spanish club.

I can't wait to hear what everybody thinks :) Therefore, I decided to mix it up a little bit and update my M&M cookie recipe to truly take them up a notch.

One of my many obsessions is brown butter - it enhances the flavor of any recipe that calls for butter and in cookies with brown sugar, it creates a toffee-like taste while maintaining a soft, chewy texture.

Browned Butter MnM Cookies step by step

Place 1 stick of butter into a pan on low heat. Cook until butter becomes dark brown..
Pour butter into small bowl, making sure to scrape out the little bits left over (they make the cookies taste incredible). If little bits are black, your butter is burnt and it is best to grab a new stick of butter. Cool for thirty minutes or more..
Preheat over to 375°..
Cream 1 softened stick of butter with both sugars..
Add eggs and vanilla. Scrape sides of the bowl making sure everything is combined..
Slowly drizzle cooled browned butter into the mixture while mixing the entire time. Dont forget the little bits! Also it is crucial the butter is cooled completely or you will have slightly scrambled egg cookies. No one wants that. Mixture will slightly be whipped. Scrape bowl and set aside..
Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee into a small bowl..
Add small portions of the dry ingredients into the wet until everything is fully combined. Make sure to scrape the sides..
Add MnMs and chocolate. This step is a personal preference. If you want all MnMs, add them. If you want pecans and chocolate chips, go crazy. I like the MnM's and mini chocolate chips because you get chocolate in every bite. Next time I'm going to add the chocolate morsels with the caramel inside. Sounds indulging right?.
Scope teaspoon sized balls and place onto an anti stick pan or spray the pan with Pam..
For softer cookies, bake for 7 minutes. I enjoy darker, crispier cookies so I let them go for about eleven minutes. I had to constantly watch them to make sure they were perfectly baked..

Brown butter, also known as beurre noisette, is made by cooking unsalted butter long enough to turn the milk solids brown while cooking out any water present in the butter.

Often described as tasting nutty or toasty, it has a deeper, richer, more intense flavor than melted or clarified butter.
