Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup light brown sugar – adds sweetness and a moist texture.
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened – provides richness and flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – enhances the overall aroma.
  • 1 large egg – binds the ingredients together.
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour – forms the cookie structure.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon – gives a subtle spice hint.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt – balances the sweetness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda – helps the cookies rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder – ensures proper rise.
  • 1 cup finely diced rhubarb – introduces a tart contrast.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the light brown sugar and softened butter until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and egg, continuing to beat until well incorporated.
  3. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until a dough forms.
  4. Fold in the finely diced rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, form 1-inch balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are just set and slightly golden.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft and chewy for up to three days.
  • Customizing: Experiment by adding white chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for a different flavor profile.
