"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Ingredients:  
3/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsps cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup pretzel pieces
3/4 cup M&Ms
Directions:
Directions:
First melt 1.5 sticks of unsalted butter in a saucepan. Constantly stir the butter around with a whisk. Butter will begin to bubble and get a bit foamy. After 2-3 minutes of bubbling action, the color will change to Amber brown. Once you begin to see brown specks in the butter, remove it from heat - it's done.

In large bowl beat solid browned butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add brown sugar, granulate sugar and mix on medium speed until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla.

In separate bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. On low speed, slowly mix into the wet ingredients until combined. Cookie dough will be thick. Add the pretzels and M&Ms and mix for about 5 seconds until evenly disbursed. Cover dough tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Chilling is mandatory for this cookie dough.

Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350º. Line a large baking sheet wit parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Once chilled the dough will be slightly crumbly but will come together if you work the dough with your hands as you roll into individual balls. Roll balls of dough about 1 T of dough each into balls.
Bake 8-9 minutes until barely golden brown around the edges. Allow to cools for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet.
