Rhubarb Cookies

InsiderMama.com
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.

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
