I made a beyond exciting discovery the other day when I was walking my dog. Right in front of the house, like literally — right in front, is a giant bush. GUESS what the giant bush is.

Okay, I’ll tell you. It’s rosemary. Really, I had a huge bush of fresh rosemary at my disposal all this time and I never even realized it.

Upon this realization, I forgot the dog walk and headed right back inside to find good rosemary recipes.

This recipe is from The Kitchen Sink and is originally derived from Bon Appetit Magazine. I lightly adapted it for my tastes.

Description

These Parmesan Rosemary Shortbread Rounds are quick and simple slice-n-bake crackers. Tender, buttery, and flavored with Parmesan cheese and fresh rosemary.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (about 2½ ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced 
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled (cut into ½-inch cubes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix flour, ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic, and rosemary in a food processor.
  2. Add butter and pulse until dough begins to come together. Add milk and pulse until it forms a dough.
  3. Remove from food processor and gather the dough into a ball. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch log, wrap with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
  4. Once chilled, slice each log into thin rounds and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment or a Silpat. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the rounds.
  5. Bake shortbread rounds until tops are dry and bottoms are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer shortbread rounds to rack and cool completely.
