Ingredients
Ingredients
flour
2 cups (all-purpose, sifted)
salt
1/4 teaspoon (fine sea salt)
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (regular)
butter
1 cup (softened to room temperature)
sugar
1 cup (granulated)
egg
1 large (beaten)
fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon (finely chopped)
Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda until evenly combined. Set aside.
2
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
5
Fold in the chopped fresh rosemary using a spatula or wooden spoon, mixing just until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6
Shape the dough into a log (or two smaller logs), wrap the logs tightly in waxed paper or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture. If desired, the dough can be frozen for later use at this stage.
7
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
8
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and slice it into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
9
Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Arrange the cookie slices on the baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly browned and the cookies are firm to the touch.
11
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy best when cooled.
