Delight in these soft and tender Brown Sugar Rhubarb Cookies, featuring a perfect blend of sweet brown sugar and tart rhubarb. These cookies combine warm cinnamon spice with a buttery base for a unique and delicious treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup finely diced rhubarb

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the light brown sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into the wet mixture. Beat well until a dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are fully combined.
  4. Fold in Rhubarb: Gently add the finely diced rhubarb to the dough and beat again just to distribute the fruit evenly without crushing it.
  5. Shape Cookies: Using a 1-inch cookie dough scoop, form dough balls and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are baked through and lightly golden on the edges.
  7. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely, preserving the texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the rhubarb is finely diced to distribute evenly and prevent overly tart bites.
  • Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Allow cookies to cool slightly before removing to avoid breaking.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a different flavor twist, try adding a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans.
