Ingredients

1/2 cup(s) butter, softened
3/4 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup(s) sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon(s) salt
3 cup(s) old-fashioned oats
3 cup(s) rhubarb, finely chopped (I use food processor and pulse it)
2 1/2 cup(s) white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup(s) walnuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl cream together butter, white & brown sugars.
• Then add eggs and vanilla; blend well.
• In a separate bowl, sift together and blend well your flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• Now add to your wet ingredients and blend until smooth.
• Add in your 3 cups of oatmeal and rhubarb and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
• Then, add your white chocolate chips and stir well.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drop cookies by large spoonfuls onto paper.
• Cook for 9 - 12 minutes....check your first batch to find the right timing. Mine were done at about 11 minutes.
• Watch not to overbake. I left one batch in for over 12 minutes and they were brown but not burnt as you can see. I prefer the white chips, not the brown ones. They look so pretty with the pink rhubarb.

Subtitutions

If you don’t have any fresh rhubarb on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of frozen rhubarb. Just be sure to thaw it first so that it’s soft enough to chop. You could also use stewed rhubarb, which is readily available in most supermarkets. Just drain off any excess liquid before using it in the recipe.

In a pinch, you could also use diced apples or pears in these cookies. The flavor will be different but just as delicious. If you use apples, you may want to add a little bit of extra cinnamon to the dough since it pairs so well with apples.

Variations

There are many variations of rhubarb cookies, but this is the basic recipe. You can add different kinds of fruit, nuts, and spices to the dough to make these cookies your own.

One popular variation is to add diced strawberries to the dough. This adds sweetness and tartness that complement the tangy taste of the rhubarb. Another variation is to add chopped pecans or walnuts for a crunchy contrast. You can also add cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices to the dough for a flavor boost.

Equipment

When it comes to baking cookies, there are a few key pieces of equipment that you will need.

1. First, you will need a baking sheet. This is what you will bake your cookies on, so it’s important to choose one that is the right size for your oven and has a non-stick surface.
2. Second, you will need a mixer. This is what you will use to cream the butter and sugar together, as well as mix in the other ingredients. A hand mixer will work just fine for this recipe.
3. Finally, you will need a spoon or spatula to drop the dough onto the baking sheet.

With these three things, you will be able to make delicious cookies!

Storage

Cookies are a delicious treat that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. But what do you do when you have too many cookies and not enough storage space? Here are some tips for storing your cookies so they stay fresh and delicious.

• If you have a lot of cookies, it’s best to store them in an airtight container. This will keep them from getting stale and will also prevent any unwanted critters from getting into your cookie stash. If you’re worried about your cookies getting crushed, you can layer them between sheets of wax paper or parchment paper.
• If you only have a few cookies, you can store them in a resealable plastic bag. Just make sure to squeeze all the air out of the bag before sealing it shut. You can also wrap your cookies in wax paper or parchment paper before placing them in the bag.
