Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups gluten-free quick-cooking oatmeal
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups finely diced rhubarb
  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1-3 tablespoons milk as needed

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free oatmeal, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  6. Fold in Rhubarb: Gently fold in the finely diced rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Form Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
  9. Cool Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
