Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 c butter, softened
3/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp salt
3 c old-fashioned oats
3 c rhubarb, finely chopped (I use food processor and pulse it)
2 1/2 c white chocolate chips
1 1/2 c walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl cream together butter, white & brown sugars.
2. Then add eggs and vanilla; blend well.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together and blend well your flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Now add to your wet ingredients and blend until smooth.
5. Add in your 3 cups of oatmeal and rhubarb and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
6. Then, add your white chocolate chips and stir well.
7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Drop cookies by large spoonful onto paper.
9. Cook for 9 - 12 minutes....check your first batch to find the right timing. Mine were done at about 11 minutes.
10. 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.
