Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 0.5 cups Pine nuts
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped rosemary and pine nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each portion about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the cookies once cooled and enjoy their unique sweet-savory flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
