We have two prolific rhubarb plants, so I’m always looking for new ways to use the harvest. The recipe for these soft, delicious cookies, flavored with coconut, was given to me by a friend. —Shauna Schneyder, Idaho Falls, Idaho

Perfect. No frosting needed. Very moist.

Made these delicious cookies with a bit of hesitation - didn't know if they would turn out because I had never tried rhubarb, but they turned out great and tasted so yummy. I recommend cutting the rhubarb small to make more even cookies. Very good; everyone enjoyed these.

Rhubarb lovers will love these cookies! The rhubarb/coconut combo is terrific. I chose not to frost them, but instead left some plain and some lightly sprinkled with icing sugar. Addictive!

WOW! What a great combination with the coconut and rhubarb! Love the little sweet and little sour of the rhubarb and the slightly crunchy texture of the cookie. I didn't even frost them and they tasted great! This is a keeper!

Perfect cookie! Even better when stored in the freezer.

If you use frozen Rhubarb, do you thaw it out, or use it frozen. I know alot of recipes tell you to not thaw some fruits?

These cookies are amazing!! I was at a Farmers' Market with a friend and I bought rhubarb to make these cookies. She thought I was crazy but soon changed her mind when she tasted them. Her brother also liked them very much, in fact, he ate pretty well a whole batch by himself. If you have a rhubarb plant and don't know what to use it all in, make these cookies. You will not be disappointed!!
