These Rosemary Butter Cookies are a hit anytime of year. They're lightly sweet with a savory, herb punch. An easy recipe that will always impress. We gave them away as our wedding favours, folks still ask about these, I think it's safe to say, they're unforgettable.
Using a hand mixer cream together the butter and sugar. Add in egg and vanilla and beat well. Sift flour into wet mixture, add one teaspoon sea salt and rosemary and mix on low until dough comes together.
Press dough into a skinny bread pan lined with parchment. You can also split the dough and roll each into a log shape.
Freeze until firm.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Brush all sides of the dough with beaten egg white. Roll or sprinkle each side with the remaining sea salt.
Slice dough into 1/4 inch thick slices and place on cookie sheets lined with parchment and bake for 20-22 minutes.
