Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamo
  • 1 cup fresh rhubarb, diced small

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the diced rhubarb using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure butter is softened to room temperature. Dice rhubarb into small pieces to prevent sogginess. Chill dough if too soft before baking.
