Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9x11-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together browned butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, whisk until smooth.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a thick cookie dough forms. Mix in chocolate chips and mini M&M's.
  • Scoop the dough into the prepared pan, spread evenly. Bake for 24 minutes until the top crumbles slightly. Press extra M&M's on top.

For added texture, try mixing in some chopped nuts or shredded coconut with the M&M's and chocolate chips.
