Description

These soft and chewy Rhubarb Cookies are a delightful treat that perfectly balance sweetness with a hint of tartness from fresh rhubarb. Packed with nuts and white chocolate chips, these cookies are a perfect springtime indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups fresh rhubarb, finely diced
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
  5. Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the diced rhubarb, nuts, and white chocolate chips if using.
  6. Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • These cookies are soft and slightly tart from the rhubarb.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
