Rosemary Remembrance Cookies

Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies | From Jasmeine Moonsong website: http://www.jasmeinemoonsong.com

Equipment:

  • measuring cups and spoons
  • mixing bowls
  • mixing spoons
  • mixer
  • plastic ziplock bag
  • rolling pin
  • cookie cutter
  • cookie sheets (3 if possible)

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon chopped rosemary

Begin prepping the rosemary. Remove leaves and chop.

Next, prepare the “wet mixture”: combine sugar, butter, egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and rosemary in mixer. Should look “creamy”.

Combine ingredients for the “dry mixture”: flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.

Fold dry mixture into the wet mixture a little at a time until a dough forms.

Remove dough from mixing bowl. Place in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and ungreased cookie sheets.

Remove dough from refrigerator. Take out half the dough and begin to work on a lightly floured surface using the rolling pin. The recipe recommends the dough be rolled to 3/16 of an inch thick. As I tend to like my cookies a little thicker, I rolled it to 1/4 of an inch.

Use a cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place on cookie sheet. Repeat until cookie sheets are full.

Bake cookies for 5-7 minutes or until the base is slightly golden.

Remove cookies from the oven and allow time to cool. Enjoy!
