Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and, if desired, bourbon. In another bowl, whisk flours, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chunks.
  2. Shape dough into 1-1/2-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake until edges are just set, 8-10 minutes (centers may appear underbaked). 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.
