Rosemary & Thyme Shortbread Cookies


  • Yield: 16 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Granulated sugar
  • Fresh rosemary springs
  • Fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flours, rosemary, thyme, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together butter, powdered sugar and honey until well mixed (about 2 – 3 minutes.)
  4. Add flour mixture to butter mix and beat until resembles a coarse meal.
  5. Pat the dough together into a ball until smooth. Divide in half.
  6. For each half, roll out into a 8-inch circle on parchment paper.
  7. Score the edges with a fork as well as lines to divide into 8 pieces (like a pizza.)
  8. For each “slice”, adorn with a small sprig of rosemary and thyme. Sprinkle each circle with a dash of granulated sugar.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes or until edges are just lightly browned.
  10. Cool on rack for 5 minutes then cut each circle into 8 pieces.
