Rosemary Shortbread

This spring our girls each used some of their spending money to buy herbs. One bought thyme, the other rosemary. All summer long they tended their herbs, watering them and cutting off twigs to use for dinner. Some days they were almost to the point of fighting over which herbs we should use for our meal. Fortunately, herbs can be mixed, and this shortbread recipe would work just as well with thyme (and perhaps some lemon zest) instead.

Vegan rosemary shortbread:
1 cup earth balance
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour
2 tbs chopped fresh rosemary
a few squares of dark chocolate, chopped (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°. Cream the earth balance and sugar in a large bowl. Add the flour, rosemary and chocolate and mix to combine. Wrap the dough up and place it in the fridge for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle. Roll the dough out on a floured surface and cut out cookies or use cookie cutters. Transfer to a cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

  1. Så gott med rosmarin. Trevligt med ett veganalternativ på shortbread. De innehåller oftast smör när man köper dem färdiga.

    Ang de råa chocolate chip cookiesen: Vad kul att du testade dem! Och ännu mer att du gillade dem :) Du får gärna dela med dig av receptet för min del, men jag är inte ursprungsupphov, så ange gärna länk till fru fruktsallad istället för mig. Jag postar en länk i en ny kommentar: Om den inte dyker upp har den nog hamnat i ditt skräpfilter (brukar hända hos mig med länkar).
