Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
-
Step 1- Melt the Butter: In a large bowl, melt the butter. Add in the sugar and stir to combine. Let cool to just warm.
-
Step 2- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rye flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
-
Step 3- Combine Mixtures: To the cooled butter mixture, whisk in the egg, egg yolk, bourbon, and vanilla until very well combined. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until just combined. With a rubber spatula, stir in the oats and nearly all of the chocolate chunks, setting aside about ⅓ cup (50 grams) to garnish the cookie dough balls. Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.*
-
Step 4- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step 5- Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or large spring-loaded scoop, drop 3-tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing at least 3 inches apart. Press a few chocolate chunks into the top of each dough ball.
-
Step 6- Bake Cookies: Bake for about 12 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let the cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
