Ingredients
-
2 cups
all-purpose flour
-
3/4 teaspoon
salt
-
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
-
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh rosemary
-
1 tablespoon
lemon zest
-
1/2
sticks (3/4 cup) butter
-
2 tablespoons
honey
-
1/2 cup
confectioners sugar
-

Garnish: fresh rosemary sprigs
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350℉.
-
Whisk flour, salt, baking powder and rosemary in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Mix butter, honey, confectioners sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice with a stand mixer at low speed. Add flour mixture until dough resembles a coarse meal with some small, pea sized butter lumps. Gather dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead dough until it just comes together.
-
Roll out dough to 1/4" thick. Using a 3" cookie cutter, cut dough into cookies. Place cookies on a baling sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Press small sprig of fresh rosemary in the center of the cookie and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
-
Bake in the middle of the oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove cookies from oven, let cool slightly and transfer to rack to cool completely.
