- 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
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.
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.
