Description

Soft and chewy cookies with a sweet-tart pop of fresh rhubarb and rich brown sugar flavor. Perfect for springtime baking or a cozy treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh rhubarb, finely diced (pat dry with paper towel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Gently fold in the diced rhubarb.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
  9. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Pat the rhubarb dry to prevent excess moisture in the cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Can be frozen for longer storage.
