Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the cooled brown butter with brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, extra yolk, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix, and then add M&Ms.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), line the sheet pan with parchment paper, and spread the dough evenly.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is soft.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
