Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg white, beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup fine sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Put butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in whole egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour, rosemary, and salt, and mix until combined.
  • Halve dough; shape each half into a log. Place each log on a 12-by-16-inch sheet of parchment. Roll in parchment to 1 1/2 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow log. Transfer to paper-towel tubes to hold shape, and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375. Brush each log with egg white; roll in sanding sugar. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Space 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment. Bake until edges are golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Store in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.

ROSEMARY BUTTER COOKIES



Rosemary Butter Cookies image

Rosemary and lemon is like a marriage made in Heaven. I love butter cookies at Christmas, but wanted something both sweet and savory. Why not include rosemary? I had two sprigs just hanging out in the crisper that were begging to be used. You can't believe the aroma that fills the house while these are baking. They are a...

Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c butter (softened)
3/4 c sugar (plus more to roll the cookie log)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
2 1/2 c flour (can use almond flour)
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped really fine
1 Tbsp lemon zest (fresh or jarred)
3/4 tsp course salt (kosher)

Steps:

  • 1. Use a mixer to cream butter and sugar. Mix in extract and egg combine well.
  • 2. Add in the flour, rosemary, lemon and salt. The mixture will be very dense.
  • 3. Divide dough into two balls and roll into logs. Wrap with plastic wrap and freeze. Preheat the oven to 375F. Roll the logs in sugar, cut into 1/4" slices. Place on a silpat mat or parchment paper.
  • 4. Bake 15 minutes or until edges are just lightly gold. They will continue to firm up after you remove them from the oven.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you start baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. The cookies should be firm to the touch, but not hard.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to firm up and prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

Rosemary butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a subtle rosemary flavor. These cookies are also a great way to use up leftover rosemary from other recipes.
