Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Notes

RHUBARB: I like finely chopping the rhubarb in the blender or food processer before adding it to the cookies. You can skip this step and add diced rhubarb instead. 
FRESH OR FROZEN RHUBARB: I've never tried using frozen rhubarb (I prefer making the cookies and freezing them instead of freezing rhubarb), but I think it would work just fine! Thaw and drain juice before adding to cookies.
OATS: Quick, old fashioned, or rolled oats will all work in this recipe. 
STORING COOKIES: Store cookies in an airtight container. They will keep at room temperature for up to three days.
FREEZING COOKIES: Cookies can be frozen in an airtight container for up to three months. 
MAKING INTO BAR COOKIES: To make cookies into Rhubarb Oatmeal Bars spread the dough in a greased 9"x13" baking pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
