Rhubarb Filled Cookies


Grandmas are a child's best friend... at least my grandma was when I was growing up. I miss my grandma a lot... this time of year is always the hardest... memories of working in the garden and the yard with her and baking.... she made the best rhubarb cookies. Dad says this is not the same as her recipe... but it is close enough for me that it  brings back so many wonderful memories of being young and carefree and playing at grandmas.
