Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cookie cutter or knife
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sifted powdered sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture. Mix until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped fresh rosemary until evenly distributed.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.
  6. Place the shaped cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
  8. Once baked, allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil.
  • Make your own powdered sugar by blending granulated sugar until fine.
  • These cookies freeze well; shape and freeze before baking.
