Categories     appetizer

Time 1h29m

Yield about 2 1/2 dozen pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon water, if needed

Steps:

  • Put the flour, sugar, rosemary, salt, and Parmesan into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse just until a soft dough forms; the dough should hold together when squeezed with your hands. If not, add the water and pulse until combined.
  • Spread a large sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Using the plastic wrap as a guide, form the dough into a loose log along 1 edge of the long side of the sheet. Roll the dough log, twisting the plastic gathered at the ends in opposite directions until the log is tight and compact, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Slice the dough log into 1/3-inch thick slices and arrange on the lined sheets, about 1-inch apart. Bake until the edges are just beginning to brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Cool the shortbread on the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store the shortbread in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.

ROSEMARY SHORTBREAD



Rosemary Shortbread image

This basic, buttery shortbread practically begs that you customize it to suit your own tastes or pantry supplies. The dough, which comes together quickly in a food processor, is already enhanced with rosemary, but nuts, seeds, citrus zest, spices, vanilla or minced dried fruit - or a combination of some of these - all make fine additions. Scale it up, scale it down. Add more salt, or use less. As long as you maintain the butter-flour ratio (one stick of butter for every cup of flour), you are free to play around. But the shortbread is delicious all on its own: tender, rich, crumbly, irresistible.

Yield One 8- or 9-inch shortbread

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted cold butter, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 to 2 teaspoons rosemary, chestnut or other dark, full-flavored honey (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, rosemary and salt. Add butter, and honey if desired, and pulse to fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until some crumbs start to come together, but don't overprocess. Dough should not be smooth.
  • Press dough into an ungreased 8- or 9-inch-square baking pan or 9-inch pie pan. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes for 9-inch pan, 45 to 50 minutes for 8-inch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into squares, bars or wedges while still warm.

SHORTBREAD, 10 WAYS



Shortbread, 10 Ways image

Shortbread is not only one of the easiest desserts you can possibly make, it's also one of the most adaptable. As long as you keep the butter-to-flour ratio constant (1 stick butter to 1 cup flour), everything else is negotiable. You can reduce or increase the sugar and salt, or mix in any type of flavoring from citrus zest to vanilla to herbs and spices. You can even alter the type of flour, swapping in some rice flour for all-purpose flour for increased crunch, or cornmeal for a nubby texture. Just be cautious about adding liquid to the dough; any more than one tablespoon could interfere with the texture. Here we give a master recipe and nine variations to play around with.

Time 1h

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 sticks/1 cup/226 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch chunks

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pulse together flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add butter and pulse to fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until some of the crumbs start to come together, but don't overprocess; the dough should be somewhat crumbly. (You can also mix the dough in a bowl using two knives or a pastry cutter.)
  • Press dough into an even layer in an ungreased 8- or 9-inch-square baking pan, or a 9-inch pie pan. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes for the 9-inch square or pie pan, 45 to 50 minutes for the 8-inch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into squares, bars or wedges while still warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, fragrant rosemary. This will give your shortbread the best flavor. If you can't find fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Toast the caraway seeds before using them. This will bring out their nutty flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the shortbread hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the shortbread until it is just set. Overbaking will make it dry and crumbly.
  • Let the shortbread cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.

Conclusion:

These rosemary and toasted caraway shortbread cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a formal party. The combination of rosemary and caraway seeds gives them a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these shortbread cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
