Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 unit large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and finely chopped rosemary to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until a dough forms, ensuring all the flour is fully incorporated.

Step 6

Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Slightly flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a flat cookie shape.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the rosemary cookies at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
