Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter room temp, unsalted
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes.
  • Gradually mix in the flour and salt, until well combined. Mix in the minced rosemary.
  • Shape into two 8” logs; securely wrap each roll (I use parchment paper). Refrigerate for a few hours, up to overnight. If you’re in a rush, you can pop them in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for 11-13 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Store in an airtight container.
