—Recipes by Chef Steph


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     

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Fold in the rhubarb: Gently stir in the chopped rhubarb. The dough will be soft but scoopable.
  5. 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.
