INGREDIENTS
-
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 ¼ cups brown sugar, packed
-
1 large egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
1 cup finely chopped fresh rhubarb
-
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
- Fold in the rhubarb: Gently stir in the chopped rhubarb. The dough will be soft but scoopable.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if you like a sparkly top. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cookies rest on the sheet for a few minutes.
