Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together brown sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Crack an egg into the creamed mixture and beat until smooth and glossy.
  4. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl; gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the finely diced rhubarb gently to avoid over-mixing.
  6. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are soft. Remove when barely set.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
