Rosemary Shortbread

Yield: 12 servings

Homemade shortbread is delicious served with ice cream or sorbet. Team the basic dough with chopped fresh rosemary and the crisp, buttery cookie takes on a sophisticated herbal edge.

1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1⁄3 cup sugar

Pinch salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In large bowl of electric mixer, beat butter on low speed until light in color, about 1 minute. Add sugar, salt and vanilla; beat until well combined, about 1 minute on medium speed, scraping down sides of bowl with rubber spatula as needed.

3. Add flour and beat on medium speed until blended. Add rosemary and mix until well distributed throughout dough.

4. Pat dough into a 71⁄2-inch disk on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Score edge with tines of fork or crimp decoratively. Prick shortbread decoratively with tines of fork. Use sharp knife to make shallow indentations where shortbread will be cut into 12 wedges. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden around the edges. Slide shortbread on parchment onto wire rack. Cool.

5. Transfer to cutting board. Cut into 12 wedges following shallow indentation made before baking.
