Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup Sugar powdered
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg ground
- 1/2 cup Barley Flour also known as oo mugi
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the milk until a smooth dough forms.
Shape and Bake the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake and Cool
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
- Once cooled, your delicious and nutritious barley cookies are ready to be savored.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Barley Cookies
- For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter.
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or dried fruits to the dough for extra texture and flavor.
- If your dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Adjust baking time depending on your oven and desired level of crispness. Start checking for doneness around 12 minutes.
