Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter browned
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips I used dark
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chunks I used dark
  • 1 cup christmas m&ms + some for top
  • 1 cup mini christmas m&ms + some for top
  • flaky sea salt for top, optional

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350° F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a sauce pan over medium high heat, add your butter and let melt. Once it's melted keep it on the heat and let it cook for 5-10 minutes until it foams up and then turns brown. Let cool.
  • In a large bowl add your sugar and brown sugar and whisk it up. Slowly pour in your brown butter and mix again. Next add your eggs and vanilla and stir again until well combined.
  • Add your dry ingredients to this mixture and fold until incorporated. Dough should be soft in texture. Next, add your chocolate chips, chunks, christmas m&ms and mini christmas m&ms and fold until just combined.
  •  Scoop your cookie dough into 1-2 inch balls onto your baking sheets lined with parchment paper a couple inches apart. Top with extra chocolate chips and m&ms and place in the oven for 8-10 minutes at 350° F.
  • Remove from oven and top with flaky sea salt and extra chocolate and m&ms if you'd like. Let cool, share and enjoy!!
