Servings: persons

2 sticks Browned Butter
1-1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
2 whole Eggs

1 cup Peanut Butter
2-1/2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1
Preheat oven to 350F.
2
To brown butter: cut 2 sticks of butter into slices (makes for even melting). Use a thick bottomed skillet on medium heat. Place butter into the skillet and stir frequently, allowing butter to cook. Once the butter begins to cook, it will start to foam up, once this foaming has subsided, you should see some brown bits at the bottom of the pan. The butter will have a really nice nutty aroma. When it's done, remove it from the heat. The whole process takes me about 5 minutes.

In the bowl of your mixer combine sugars and butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and peanut butter. Mix. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined. You can add the M&Ms now, or just place some on top of your cookie dough once you place it on the baking sheet. I don't know exactly how many M&Ms I used, but just add to your liking!
4
Drop the cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined or greased baking sheet. I don't like to flatten my peanut butter cookies, but go for it if you like. For some of the cookies I sprinkled them with a little fleur de sel for a little extra flavor. Bake for 15 minutes. Cookies may appear underdone at this point, but they are done.
