How To Make rhubarb filled cookies

  • 1
    In a bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well (dough will be sticky).
  • 2
    For filling: combine rhubarb, sugar, and 2 tablespoons in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Combine cornstarch and remaining water until smooth; stir into rhubarb mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla.
  • 3
    Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in the center of each cookie; fill with a rounded teaspoon of the filling. Top with 1/2 teaspoon of dough, allowing some filling to show. Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
