A very Victorian recipe! Some people are put off by the notion of herb cookies, but you'll be pleasantly surprised. The flavor improves with age (best 2 days after), keeping for about a week.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups unsalted butter
  • 0.67 cups white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar for decoration

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and 2/3 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour salt and rosemary until well blended. The dough will be somewhat soft. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into rectangles 1 1/2x2 inches in size. Place cookies 1 inch apart on the lined cookie sheets. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the tops.

  4. 4

    Bake for 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden at the edges. Cool on wire racks, and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
