I guess I am starting an espresso bean cookie series ?. If you have missed it, I recently posted a recipe for Chocolate Espresso Bean Sourdough Discard Cookies. In that post I talked about how I really like multifunctional/multipurpose things and how espresso cookies embodies that.
These Matcha White Chocolate Espresso Bean Sorghum Cookies are gluten free and are more decadent than the Chocolate Espresso Bean Sourdough Discard Cookies I posted earlier. They are chewy, sweet, nutty (from the sorghum) with a touch of earthiness (from the matcha) and all in all, are a real treat.
Where to buy sorghum flour
Sorghum flour can be a little tricky to find. They are an ancient cereal grain but are less known amongst its sisters: quinoas, millet and barley etc. Wiki lists other ancient cereal grains. I bought mine at 99 Ranch, a Chinese grocery store chain where I live. I have also seen it a Filipino and Korean grocery store. I believe it is also an ingredient found in some Indian dishes, so you might have some luck finding them at Indian grocers as well as the south east asian grocery stores.
