RHUBARB COOKIES



Rhubarb Cookies image

If you make one thing this rhubarb season, it needs to be these cookies. They are crunchy and salty on the outside and tender and chewy on the inside. They also have surprises like sweet white chocolate chips and crunchy chopped walnuts hidden in every bite. But the star of the show is the tangy, soft and beautifully pink rhubarb that is strewn throughout.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 20 to 22 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg plus 1 large yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips (about 6 ounces)
1 cup walnut halves (about 4 ounces), roughly chopped
1 1/2 stalks rhubarb (about 4 ounces), chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, kosher salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a large bowl.
  • Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer (or using a stand mixer fitter with the paddle attachment) on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and yolk, then beat in the vanilla.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and beat until well combined, about 1 minute. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, then fold in the rhubarb. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with reusable nonstick mats (or parchment).
  • Use a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart (you should have about 10 cookies, roughly 1 1/2 ounces each, per baking sheet). Sprinkle the sea salt on top of the dough balls.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

RHUBARB & COCONUT RIPPLES

Add a little bit of the Caribbean to rhubarb fool

Provided by Gary Rhodes

Categories     Dessert, Dinner, Lunch, Treat

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1kg rhubarb , washed and chopped (coarse, stringy sticks may need to be peeled)
100g caster sugar , depending on sweetness of rhubarb
3 tbsp clear honey
284ml carton double cream
a few dribbles grenadine (optional)
100ml thick coconut cream
6 almond macaroons
a little desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • Put the rhubarb into a pan with 100g/4oz sugar and the honey and cook over a low heat for 15-20 minutes until completely softened. Taste and add more sugar if necessary. Spoon the rhubarb into a sieve set over a bowl. This will release some of the rhubarb juices, which will provide a syrup. Leave until cold.
  • Whip the double cream to soft peaks. If the rhubarb pulp is very pale, mix in a little grenadine to give it more of a pink tone. Now mix the coconut cream into the rhubarb pulp, and add 100ml/3½fl oz of the rhubarb juices. Lightly fold in the cream, leaving the rhubarb with a rippled effect.
  • Divide the mousse between 6 glasses and firm them up in the fridge. This should take a couple of hours, but they will keep for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, top each mousse with a trickle of rhubarb syrup, a broken macaroon and a sprinkling of coconut.
