Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the lemon zest, finely chopped fresh rosemary, and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into small balls. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Flatten each dough ball slightly using the bottom of a glass or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Lemon Rosemary Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
