Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup medium rye flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 cup unsalted butter browned
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons rye whiskey
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup of dark chocolate coarsely chopped into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon flaky salt optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

Brown the Butter:

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, gently melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
  • Stir frequently until it turns a deep golden brown and emits a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rye flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and allspice.
  • Set aside.

Mix the Sugars and Wet Ingredients:

  • In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Add the vanilla extract, rye whiskey, and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and chopped dark chocolate chunks.

Chill the Dough:

  • Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to develop and the dough to firm up.

Bake the Cookies:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare two baking sheets by covering them with parchment paper.
  • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still slightly soft. If desired, sprinkle with flaky salt immediately after removing from the oven.

Cool and Serve:

  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
