How to Make Rhubarb Filled Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until rhubarb is tender and the mixture has thickened (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
  9. Spoon a teaspoon of the cooled rhubarb filling into each indentation.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  11. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
