I’ll be honest — I stumbled on this rhubarb cookie recipe somewhere online and didn’t think much of it at first. Just a curious scroll-through on a slow afternoon. But the moment I made them, I knew they were something special. Tart rhubarb wrapped in soft, sweet comfort? Yes, please.
What surprised me most was how forgiving the recipe turned out to be. I’ve made it with vegan butter for our dairy-free crew, swapped in gluten-free flour when needed — and every time, it still delivers. The kind of cookie that disappears from the plate faster than you expect, and makes everyone feel included.
Maybe I didn’t inherit this one from a grandparent, but I am passing it down. Because a good recipe is like a good story — even if you didn’t write the first line, you make it your own.
