chocolate chip cookies with barley

[Guest guest]

Here's the chocolate chip cookies made with barley flour that I have

found to be a huge hit at bake sales:

Here are my comments/modifications:

- I do use the espresso powder -- it gives an added depth

- I grind my own barley

- The first time I made these, I didn't have enough semi-sweet chocolate

chips, so I made a serendipitous modification. I used about 1 cup (or a

bit more) of semi-sweet chocolate chips (though I also love it with

bittersweet), 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and 2/3 cup (or a bit less)

of white chocolate chips. YUM YUM YUM

- I bake them a bit less than recommended. 8 or 9 minutes gives a nice

chewy cookie.

- I started making these for a bake sale and a double batch is now

requested -- nay demanded -- every week. Some people buy handfuls of

these for $1.50 each. :-)
