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

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.

Apple Chips
These apple chips with cinnamon will disappear almost as quickly as you make them! They're perfect for snacking and easy to take on the road. The secret is to bake them at a very low temperature for a long time, dehydrating the apples.
Guyanese Cookup Rice
Guyanese cook-up rice is my grandmother's recipe. It's delicious and can be made with or without meat. It's also very versatile. I am using chicken, but you can use brisket, pig tail, oxtail — the list is endless.
Make-Ahead Garlic Toast
I love this garlic toast recipe. It's a great way to use up leftover bread. The best part is that you can pull out as many pieces as you want and bake them straight from the freezer!
