- Title: RHUBARB COOKIES
- Categories: Cookies
- Yield: 30 cookies
-
- 1/4 lb butter
- 1 c Sugar, brown, light
- 1 Egg
- 1 c Cooked rhubarb, drained **
- 2 c Flour
- 1/4 ts Salt
- 1 ts Baking soda
- 1 ts Nutmeg, grated
- 1 ts Cinnamon
- 1/2 ts Ground cloves
- 3 T crystallized ginger; finely
- -chopped (opt)
- 1/2 c Walnuts; chopped
- 1 c raisins
-
- ** To cook rhubarb: Use a proportion of 4 cups sliced rhubarb cut in
- 1/2-inch pieces to 1 cup sugar. Toss the rhubarb and sugar together
- and let steep overnight (you will be amazed at how much juice the
- rhubarb gives off). Pour off 3/4 cup of the liquid and use for a
- drink. Cook the rhubarb slices in the remaining until just tender
- but still holding their shape, less than 5 minutes. The rhubarb is
- ready to eat as is, to use in other recipes, or to freeze in
- containers.
-
- Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and beat until
- light, then stir in the rhubarb. Stir the flour, salt, baking soda, and
- spices together and toss until thoroughly mixed. Stir the dry ingredients
- into the rhubarb mixture until the two are blended, then fold in the
- optional ginger, the walnuts, and the raisins. Drop the batter by the
- tablespoonful onto greased baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart, and
- bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 12 minutes, until lightly browned
- at the edges.
