Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe for Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies made with organic rye flour, dark chocolate, bourbon and rosemary. Easy chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Servings 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (125 grams ) all purpose flour
- ½ cup (64 grams) organic medium white rye flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary minced
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ Cup (113 grams) unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 Cup (200 grams) dark brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Bourbon
- 1 cup (168 grams) dark chocolate chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- Hand whisk together flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, and rosemary in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment or large bowl and a hand mixer beat the butter and dark brown sugar until a paste is formed. Medium speed about 1-2 minutes. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl as needed.
- Add egg, yolk, vanilla, and bourbon to creamed butter and sugar. Mix until incorporated.
- Add flour a ⅓ at a time until mixed.
- Fold in chocolate chunks with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon. Fold just enough to distribute. The chocolate crumbs from chopping the bars will slightly darken the cookie dough.
- Use a 1.5 Tablespoon cookie dough scoop to scoop the room temperature dough into balls. Place the cookie dough balls in a single layer inside a parchment paper lined air tight container.
- Place the container of cookie dough balls into the fridge and chill for a minimum of 2 hrs. This will allow the butter to firm, flavors to develop, and prevent spreading when the cold cookie dough is baked. You can also chill the cookie dough overnight for 8-12 hours for a richer flavor.
- Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Line two large rimmed cookies sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- When its time to bake the cookie dough balls, remove them from the fridge and gently pack each dough ball between cupped hands before placing them on the tray.
- Place cold cookie dough balls 1-2 inches apart on room temperature rimmed baking trays. Bake one tray at time. There should be about 9 cookie dough balls per tray. Keep the rest of the dough in the fridge until ready to bake.
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until edges start look dark and crisp.
- Place cookie sheet onto cooling rack for 10 minutes. Cookies will finish baking as they cool.
- Remove cookies from sheet and place directly onto cooling rack.
- Eat and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe yields 24 chocolate chip cookies that are 3 inches in diameter.
Mix the Dough Just Enough:
When adding in the flour, mix until just combined. Add in the chocolate chunks for a a couple of spins on the mixer, or fold in by hand with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Over mixing the dough increases gluten formation which leads to tougher cookies.
