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.

Chef John's Classic Strawberry Shortcake
For this strawberry shortcake recipe, I modified the way my grandfather made his and used self-rising flour and toasted butter for a nutty flavor. I'm hoping Armand Cianfoni would approve.
Easy Apple Crisp with Oat Topping
This easy apple crisp has a topping made with oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. It's the best dessert for early fall. Within ten minutes of going in the oven, the scent will fill the air, and neighbors will invite themselves in and wonder aloud if there is any left!
Long Island Iced Tea
This is the classic Long Island Iced Tea, containing just a hint of citrus. It is best made with top shelf liquors. Watch out, it is very strong, but tastes very good, so you may not realize all the alcohol you're consuming.
