Tips:

  • Use fresh rhubarb. Fresh rhubarb has a tart and tangy flavor that is perfect for cookies. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them rise and give them a crispy exterior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating. The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so it's important to let them cool completely before eating them.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their tart and tangy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
