Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 80 grams honey
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the honey, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Fold in the finely chopped rosemary leaves using a spatula, followed by the dry flour mixture. Stir just until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 24 even portions (approximately 1 tablespoon per cookie). Roll each portion into a ball and gently flatten it into a disc about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
Step 7
Place the shaped cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 cm (1 inch) of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear soft.
Step 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies as is, or pair them with a warm cup of tea for an aromatic and comforting treat.
