Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugars. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and mix until thoroughly combined. Lastly, mix in the chocolate. Portion the cookie dough into balls slightly larger than 3 tablespoons (each about 2 ½ ounces/70 grams). Roll each with your hand and place the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the balls at least 2 inches apart. Press gently into a puck about 1-inch thick. Sprinkle the cookies with some sea salt and, working with one batch at a time, bake until the cookies have spread and are browned on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Repeat with remaining batch. Let cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before transferring cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk rye flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl until well combined. Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg, molasses, and vanilla extract; beat until thoroughly combined. Mix in 1/2 of the dry ingredients until just combined. Mix in remaining dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chopped chocolate. Dough will be somewhat thick. Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized pieces of dough and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle cookies with flaky sea salt as soon as they come out of the oven. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 7 to 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Time 35m Yield 2 dozen. Number Of Ingredients 11 Steps:
In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and bourbon, if desired. In another bowl, whisk flours, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chunks., Shape dough into 1-1-/2-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover and chill at least 2 hours., Preheat oven to 350°. Bake until edges are just set, 8-10 minutes (centers may appear under-baked). Remove from oven; immediately sprinkle cookies with sea salt. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store between pieces of waxed paper in an airtight container., Freeze option: Freeze cookies in freezer containers , separating layers with waxed paper. To use, thaw before serving.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Place the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 8 to 10 minutes, until they start to smell fragrant and are lightly golden brown when you break one in half. Remove them from the oven and let cool. Roughly chop them and set aside. Chop 5 ounces of the bittersweet chocolate and 4 ounces of the unsweetened chocolate into large chunks and place them with the butter in a metal or heatproof glass bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and heat, stirring occasionally, until completely smooth. Remove from the heat, whisk in the vanilla, and let cool for about 20 minutes so it’s not piping hot. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk together the sugar and eggs for about 5 minutes on medium-high speed, until light and thick and pale yellow. With the mixer on low, slowly add the chocolate-butter mixture and whisk for about 15 seconds. It will not be completely mixed at this point but that’s okay, because you will finish combining all the ingredients by hand. Chop the remaining 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate into 1-inch chunks and shave the remaining 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate into fine shavings. In a medium bowl, stir together the rye flour, the chopped bittersweet chocolate, shaved unsweetened chocolate, baking powder, salt, and toasted walnuts. Remove the bowl from the mixer, add the rye flour mixture, and fold it in by hand until the dough is completely homogeneous. For best results, scrape the dough into an airtight container and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 hours or up to overnight before baking. (The unbaked dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.) Preheat the oven to 350°F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop the dough in ¼-cup scoops onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway through the baking time, until the cookies are just starting to crack on the edges and the centers are soft but not liquidy when you press them. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer them to the rack and let cool completely. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Toast walnuts in a skillet until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Chop coarsely. Stir rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Mix walnuts, oats, figs, and chocolate chips in a separate bowl. Beat butter in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add brown sugar; beat to incorporate. Add egg and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Add flour and oat mixtures to the bowl. Mix on low speed until thoroughly incorporated. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and arrange on the baking sheet about 2 1/2 inches apart. Press down with the back of a large spoon to flatten cookies. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set, about 16 minutes. Remove from baking sheets and cool on a rack.
Time 50m Yield About 15 cookies Number Of Ingredients 13 Steps:
Whisk together the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sea salt and baking soda; set aside. Working with a mixer (fitted with the paddle attachment, if you have one), beat the butter and both sugars together on medium speed for 3 minutes, until blended; scrape thebowl as needed. Add the egg, and beat 2 minutes more. Turn off the mixer, add the dry ingredients all at once, then pulse the mixer a few times to begin blending the ingredients. Beat on low speed until the flour almost disappears, and then add the poppy seeds, cranberries and chocolate. Mix only until incorporated. Scrape the bowl to bring the dough together. Have a baking sheet lined with parchment, foil or plastic wrap nearby. Divide the dough into 15 pieces, roll each piece into a ball between your palms and place on the baking sheet. Cover, and refrigerate the dough overnight or for up to 3 days. (If you’d like, you can wrap the balls airtight and freeze them for up to 1 month. Defrost them overnight in the fridge before baking.) When you’re ready to bake, center a rack in the oven, and heat it to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the cookies on the sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie (work with half a batch at a time and keep the remaining balls of dough in the refrigerator until needed). Sprinkle each cookie with a little flake salt, crushing it between your fingers as you do. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, pull the baking sheet from the oven and, using a metal spatula, a pancake turner or the bottom of a glass, tap each cookie lightly. Let the cookies rest on the sheet for 3 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a rack. Repeat with the remaining dough, always using cold dough and a cool baking sheet. Serve after the cookies have cooled for about 10 minutes, or wait until they reach room temperature.
