Instructions

To brown the butter, place it into a non-stick skillet over medium heat, swirling it for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the milk solids start to lightly brown, and the butter starts to smell nutty. Watch carefully as this can happen very quickly. Set aside the brown butter to cool while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. You can cool it in the fridge to speed this up.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, or stand mixer, beat together the cooled brown butter, and brown sugar, white sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract and bourbon.
Reduce the speed to low on the mixer, and slowly add in the flour mixture until it is just combined. Mix in the chocolate chunks.
Scoop and roll the dough into 1 ½”–2” balls. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. If any chocolate chunks fall out during the rolling, gently press them on top of the dough balls.
Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely
