We've made these delicious cookies with only brown sugar and the results were fantastic!

For gooey cookies, take them out of the oven at 12 minutes. For more firm cookies, leave them in for an extra 5 minutes!

Makes about 25 cookies.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups barley flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars:

   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:

   • Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the barley flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in Chocolate Chips:

   • Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Shape Cookies:

   • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.

8. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still look slightly underdone, but they will firm up as they cool.

9. Cool and Enjoy:

   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Store:

    • Once completely cooled, store the barley flour chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
