Ingredients:
- 1 cup browned butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white or soft sugar
- 1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- A hint of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Chopped M&M's (peanuts and plain)
Instructions:
- Prepare the browned butter: Start by browning the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it has a nutty, caramel scent. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooled brown butter with the two sugars. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla, mixing well until well combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients: Sift together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add it to the wet mixture, stirring until the dough is uniform and no dry flour remains.
- Add M&M's: Incorporate the chopped M&M's into the dough.
- Cool the dough: For optimal flavor and texture, refrigerate the dough for between 15 minutes and 24 hours.
- Cook: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Roll the dough into balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are barely golden.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
