Instructions
 

CHOCOLATE CHIP M&M COOKIES PREPARATION

  • Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on medium low until melted. Then, continue to heat until there are no more bubbles coming up and the whistling has reduced (about 5 minutes), by then you should smell the nutty aromas. Pass your brown butter through the sift. Set aside to cool down.
    4 oz butter
  • In a mixing bowl, whack the all-purpose flour, together with the baking soda and sea salt. Set aside.
    6.70 oz all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • To another mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Pour the warm brown butter and whisk until you get a thick paste, about 1-2 minutes.
    2.65 oz light brown sugar, 2.46 oz granulated sugar
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
    1 egg, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Fold the mini chocolate chips until no dry spots remain. NOTE: Do not over mix.
    3.17 oz dark chocolate chips
  • Using a 1½-Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and place them on your prepared baking sheet.

BAKE!

  • Bake for 6 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 5 minutes). It is ready when they have puffed up, the top staying soft.
  • While your cookies are baking, prepare the bunnies: Either slice the M&M in half with a sharp knife or break it apart in your hand. NOTE: I found it easier to slice them in half. Place two halves on top of each whole M&M to look like bunny ears. You need 4 m&ms per cookie (total=64)
    64 Easter M&Ms
  • Working very quickly, IMMEDIATELY after the cookies come out of the oven, gently press the M&Ms onto the top of each cookie. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
    NOTE: These cookies are best when stored in a metal tin box up to 3 days.
