Step-by-Step Instructions for Rhubarb Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, softened butter, and egg. Beat until smooth and creamy for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon. Mix gently until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Fold in the finely diced rhubarb gently to retain its shape.
  5. Portion the dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  6. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden, then cool on the sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
