Basic Cookie Recipe

Version 1

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Notes

These came out a little harder than I would have liked. Need to find a way to make them flatten out a little more when they are cooking.

Version 2

• 3/4 cup butter (at room temperature)
• 1 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 cups barley flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar, then add the egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly.

Add the barley flour and baking soda, and continue mixing until the mixture forms a dough.

Drop spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack lined with paper towels to cool thoroughly.
