Step-by-Step Instructions for Brown Sugar Rhubarb Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the light brown sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and the large egg for 2-3 minutes until creamy.
  3. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the finely diced rhubarb until evenly distributed.
  5. Using a cookie dough scoop, portion out the dough and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
