Rosemary Slices

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the chopped rosemary and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. If using nuts, fold them into the dough at this point.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal halves and roll each into a log, approximately 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Once the dough is firm, remove it from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, slice the logs into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For a lovely finishing touch, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar if desired.

These Rosemary Slices are a wonderful addition to any dessert table, and they pair beautifully with your favorite hot beverage. Enjoy these delightful cookies with friends and family, and watch them disappear quickly!
