Brown Butter White Chocolate M&M Cookies

1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until butter turns light brown. Remove from heat immediately. Pour butter into a heat-safe container and allow to cool. (If you want to speed up the cooling process, stick the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.)
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together cooled butter and sugars. Add in egg and vanilla extract and beat until well-combined.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat until just combined. Stir in M&Ms.
4. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. While dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a cookie sheet with a baking mat or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Scoop dough out onto cookie sheet by heaping tablespoonful. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until cookies just start to turn light golden brown.
7. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool.
8. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
