How to Make Oatmeal Barley Cookies Wheat Free

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup barley flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips, ½ cup raisins, ½ cup dried cranberries, and ½ cup butterscotch chips (or your favorite mix-ins!).
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. (They won't spread much!)
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
