Rhubarb Cookies

Rhubarb might seem like an odd choice for cookies, but it’s a gem. Its tangy flavor adds an unexpected kick. When baked, rhubarb softens and its sharp taste mellows, mixing perfectly with the cookie’s sweetness.
- 1 cup of butter softened
- 1 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of chopped rhubarb
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips optional
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter with both sugars until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this into the butter mixture.
Fold in the rhubarb and white chocolate chips if using. The dough will be thick, but that’s perfect for these cookies.
Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
