PINE NUT ROSEMARY SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Steps:
- Combine flour and salt in a small bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate large bowl or stand mixer cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and lemon zest and mix again, then add the flour mixture, nuts, and rosemary and mix until the dough goes just past the crumbly stage, and begins to really clump together (you don't want to over mix it, but under mixing will make the dough seem a bit dry, which can make it more difficult to handle). Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead the dough just once or twice to bring it together, then divide it into a ball and flatten into a disk 1 inch thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper of a Silpat mat. Roll the dough into a log about 1 1/2" in diameter, wrap in plastic and place in freezer for 30 minutes. Remove and slice into cookies about 1/2" thick. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies are beginning to brown on the bottom. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the cookies, taking less time for smaller cookies.
PINE NUT SHORTBREAD COOKIES WITH ROSEMARY
I love the smell of rosemary. I about 6 nice bushes of it growing in my herb garden and along the walk up to the back door. I rub it whenever I go by just to smell it better.
