Lemon-Rosemary Butter Cookies

Vegetarian Times Issue: April 1, 2008   p.67

The rosemary and lemon aromas of these cookies will make your kitchen smell like an Italian bakery.

Directions

1. Beat butter, sugar, rosemary, and lemon zest with electric mixer 3 minutes, or until creamy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla.

2. Whisk together flours, baking powder, and salt in bowl. Add to butter mixture, and beat until just combined. Shape into 2 1-inch-wide logs. Wrap in wax paper, and chill 2 hours.

3. Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Slice cookies into 1/3-inch-thick rounds. Place turbinado sugar in bowl and press one cut side of cookies into sugar. Place sugar-side up on baking sheets. Bake 15 minutes, or until golden brown on bottoms. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

is corn flour the same as corn meal?
By Alexandra on May 18, 2010:
Similar. Corn meal is a slightly coarser grind. I stick with corn flour when the recipe calls for it. Had a bad experience trying to use corn meal in replace of corn flour.
By Cathy Kemmerlin on Dec 25, 2010:
I didn't have corn flour in the house and just used 1 1/3 cup flour. The cookies turned out great and were a huge hit with the group I served them to. These are delicious and are really pretty cookies when you decorate them with different colors of sugar.

I just made these cookies, and they are delicious! My whole family really enjoyed them, and they were very quick and easy to make. Perfect size, too.

Can you freeze the dough?
By BeeD on Feb 20, 2011:
What a hit! A wonderful addition to the cookie recipes, we often use. Very refreshingly lemony. The cookie had a really great texture to them as well. The Rosemary just added that little extra flavor. Would go excellent with some fresh iced tea.

Followed directions exactly and they turned out terrible! They didn't spread out or rise in the oven, and they didn't hold together. Awful.

Chris, it sounds like you over combined the dough.
