Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup rhubarb, finely chopped Ensure even distribution.
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts Optional for added texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don’t over mix!
  6. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb and, if desired, the nuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
