This recipe is in a cookbook I have called Square Table, that has food and stories from Oxford, MS. I’ve always wanted to try these cookies, because the idea of rosemary in a cookie intrigued me, so I knew I would make these when we picked rosemary as our ingredient for the week. They turned out really good. The orange and rosemary are not overpowering, just a nice lovely background flavor to the buttery shortbread. ---Karly ROSEMARY ORANGE SHORTBREAD 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary 2 teaspoons grated orange zest (about 1 large orange) ½ cup sugar ½ teaspoon salt 2-3 cups flour In a bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter, rosemary, and orange zest. I cut the butter into small pieces to make it easier to mix. Beat with a paddle attachment until well combined and the butter is very smooth. Mix in the salt and enough flour to make a cohesive dough (I had to use my hands after a bit to mix it because it was very crumbly). Press the dough into a buttered 9x9 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees until light golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool, and cut into rectangles or squares. Printer-Friendly Version: ![]()
