Description

These soft and flavorful rhubarb cookies are a delightful treat, featuring a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors with a vanilla glaze on top.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh rhubarb, diced

Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gently fold in diced rhubarb.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes

  • Be sure not to overmix the dough to keep the cookies light and soft.
  • If you prefer a stronger rhubarb flavor, you can add a little more diced rhubarb to the dough.
  • For a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk in the glaze.
