Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions:

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Cut the rosemary and lemon zest into small pieces and add them to the bowl

Mix everything together well

Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the mixture little by little

Mix the dough until it holds together

Add the lemon juice and keep mixing until the dough comes together into a ball

On a sheet of parchment paper, roll the dough into a log that is about 2 inches across

The log should be tightly wrapped in parchment paper and put in the fridge for at least an hour, or until it gets firm

Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up

Put the rounds of chilled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Each round should be about 1/4 inch thick

Put the cookies in an oven that has already been heated for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet

Then, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down
