Rosemary Butter Cookies Recipe
These cookies are so unique and the flavors of the rosemary, salt and sugar together are a great combination.
You can use granulate sugar on the edges of the cookies or candy crystals for cake/cookie decorating or clear rock sugar sprinkles. These options make the cookies sparkle around the edges.

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

- 1/2 cup sugar
