Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 Cups Fresh Rhubarb
  • 1 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Vegan Butter
  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Unit Flax Egg
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with silicone mats.
  2. Prepare your flax egg by mixing one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water; let it sit for five minutes until thickened.
  3. Cream the softened vegan butter and dark brown sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. This incorporates air into the cookies.
  4. Whisk in the flax egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt to remove any lumps.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the diced rhubarb pieces using a spatula.
  8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving about two inches of space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges appear golden brown and the centers look slightly set.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure to pat the diced rhubarb dry before folding into the batter to prevent a runny dough. Use a kitchen scale for measuring flour for consistent results.
