    What we're making

    These delicious chocolate chip cookies are made with barley flour!

    Barley flour has the lowest glycemic index of any grain. It's also naturally high in protein, fiber, and a variety of essential minerals.

    I made these recently for some of my husband's family.

    I knew my low sugar treats would probably fall flat with company, so I opted to go for a middle of the road variety.

    These cookies were raved over! All of the kids along with my husband and company loved them! I think my husband proclaimed them to be 'the best I've ever made'.

    Tricks to making barley flour cookies

    An important step to baking, unless otherwise stated, is to begin with room temperature ingredients.

    This prevents the clumping of fats like butter and coconut oil, allowing things to mix easily.

    Does barley flour contain gluten?

    In short, yes.

    However, barley has a different gluten structure than wheat, meaning that some with celiac disease and wheat allergies are able to safely consume it.

    Speaking from personal experience, I was able to eat barley flour during a time that both wheat and spelt were bothersome.

    Equipment

    Barley Flour
    Chocolate Chips
    Coconut Sugar

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup softened, room temperature butter
    • ½ cup coconut sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 cup barley flour
    • ¼ cup rolled oats
    • ¼ tsp sea salt
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ¼ - ⅓ cup chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until combined.
    • Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.
    • Add in flour, oats, salt, and baking soda.
    • Continue beating until well combined.
    • Stir in chocolate chips.
    • Chill dough in the freezer for 15 minutes.
    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    • Roll the dough into 12 equal-sized balls, and place them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; no need to flatten.
    • Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes. They may still appear to be undercooked when they come out, but this is fine.
    • Let them sit and cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes.
    • Enjoy!

    Notes:

    The recipe works best with room temperature ingredients, though, in a hurry, I have used a cold egg without issue.

    Whole wheat pastry flour also works in place of the barley.

        Sorry about that, Mary, it should read 1/4-1/3 cup of chocolate chips, depending on your personal sweet tooth.
