Old-Fashioned Rhubarb Cookies Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just incorporated.
Fold in the diced rhubarb, lemon zest, and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
I await your comments! Enjoy!
