Wow, if you love rhubarb you will enjoy this combination of rhubarb, oats, and white chocolate chips. They are one chewy & moist cookie with a twist of tang and sweet. I did chop the rhubarb in the food processor to get it into smaller pieces and that worked well.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These are simply exceptional oatmeal cookies. They're filled with delicious fall spices. We loved the spices mixed with the slight tartness of rhubarb and the sweetness from the brown sugar and white chocolate chips. Oatmeal brings the soft and tender cookie together and gives them a nice bite and chewy texture. You'll be surprised at how addictive and irresistible these rhubarb cookies are. They'll disappear as quickly as they come out of the oven. Walnuts are an option so we made some with and some without nuts. We suggest making them with chopped walnuts. We loved the nutty flavor they added to the cookie.

    Watch not to overbake. I left one batch in for over 12 minutes and they were brown but not burnt as you can see. I prefer the white chips not to brown. They look so pretty with the pink rhubarb.
