Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Gather your ingredients and set out your mixing bowls and baking sheets.
  2. Cream the softened butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and mix for about 2 minutes.

  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the finely diced rhubarb until evenly distributed.
