Rosemary Shortbread Biscuits

May 1, 2016 · by munchiesandmunchkins · 17 Comments

You may remember my attempt last year to make Rosemary shortbread? It ended up as a Rosemary shortbread cake instead which was pretty tasty but not what I had planned. I’ve made a couple of versions since and whilst they all tasted good, they just weren’t the way I wanted.. until now! These biscuits are so buttery and crumbly and the flavour is incredible. I love the flavour of Rosemary in everything – I love it to enhance the flavour of meats, for my crispy rosemary potatoes and its fantastic in sweet treats too. I really hope you give these a go, let me know if you do!

Rosemary Shortbread Biscuits

You will need:

150g butter

50g sugar

200g plain flour

1.5 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary

1.5 tbsp maple syrup

Preheat oven to 180c and grease/line a baking tray. Cream your butter, sugar and syrup together, add your rosemary and mix well. Now add your flour and using your hands mix to a soft dough. At this stage if you wish you could roll out the dough onto a well floured surface and use a cookie cutter to create shapes ( it would be best to chill the dough first ), I took the lazy option and rolled my dough straight into small balls which I slightly flattened on a tray. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with sugar and leave to cool on a wire rack.

This makes 12 biscuits. They are delicious when eaten slightly warm but pretty good when cold too and perfectly fine a day or so later – if they last that long!

    I love shortbread, it’s my top favourite biscuit and that’s saying something as I’m a biscuit / cookie addict. I’ve never tried rosemary in shortbread before but now I’ve seen your recipe I can totally see how it would work – mmm!

    I love using rosemary too! I’ts also my 8-year old daughter’s favorite herb! I love the sound of using it in shortbread biscuits! Great idea! 🙂

    This sounds like a really addictive cookie. Love the simple recipe, the rosemary — and that it only makes 12 – so I wouldn’t feel obliged to eat 36 all by myself!

    Shortbread is one of my favourite sweet treats and I love adding flavours to it. Rosemary sounds like a great addition. One of my favourites right now is lavender.
