Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 cup Finely Diced Rhubarb

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing on low just until combined. Don’t overmix—stop when the dough comes together.
  • Gently fold in the diced rhubarb until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden at the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For freezing, place cooled cookies in a single layer in a zipper bag or airtight container for up to 2 months.
