These rhubarb cookies combine tangy fresh rhubarb, creamy white chocolate, and aromatic vanilla bean for a soft, chewy treat perfect for spring and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 vanilla bean pod, split and seeds scraped (or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract)
  • 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup (about 130 g) fresh rhubarb, chopped into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and the scraped seeds from the vanilla bean pod (or vanilla extract) until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in the chopped rhubarb and white chocolate chips.
  7. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

If rhubarb releases too much moisture, pat dry before folding in. Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Use fresh rhubarb for best texture. Frozen rhubarb can be used if thawed and dried. For gluten-free, substitute flour and adjust baking time. For dairy-free, use vegan butter.
