[Magdalen] Rhubarb cookies

Re rhubarb (and it should be clear that this is NOT about rhubarb  COOKIES):
 
My mother used to make some wonderful rhubarb pies during the 
spring season, and she also put up a rhubarb sauce served like
a pudding, and to which she referred as "spring tonic".
 
I've had little rhubarb since my youth, though there was a company
headquartered in Michigan called  "Chef Pierre" that put out a  wonderful
rhubarb pie (among others) back in the 1980's, but I have been 
unsuccessful in finding them here recently.
 
To my surprise, Sam's (as in Wal Mart) occasionally carries rhubarb
pie.  Sadly, the pie is essentially inedible, tasteless and  chewy.
