Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rhubarb finely chopped

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low just until a soft dough forms; do not overmix.
  • Fold in the chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop dough into 1.5-tablespoon mounds and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look just barely done.
  • Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For tidier edges, finely chop rhubarb so pieces are small and uniform. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
