Author Notes

These be the cookies for the grown ups. First, the chocolate hits you. Then the bourbon smacks you right between the eyes. I may never make another chocolate cookie. Adapted from Bon Appetit. —HalfPint

  • 2 cups (256g) all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (52g) rye flour

  4. Add flour mixture and mix to just combined. Add chopped chocolate, gently stir to combine. Fold in chocolate chunks.
  5. Scoop ~3-Tb portions of dough (slightly smaller than a golf ball), rolling into balls.. Place on a flat tray or baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours.
