Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes
Servings: 24 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh rhubarb finely chopped

Method
 

Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
    Beat butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
      Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
        In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
            Fold in the chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed.
              Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
                Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
                  Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Notes

                    Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Frozen rhubarb can be used if thawed and drained well. Avoid overbaking for the softest texture. The dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
