Cooking with Elle // Gluten-Free Rosemary Shortbread Cookies
These delicious cookies are perfect for any occasion. I nibbled on a few [ok, ok, maybe more than "a few"] while sipping on tea and reading in my reading nook one day, then packed a few for separate picnics by the river and the beach in the last few weeks. They are simple to make and gluten-free for those who are trying to limit or totally cut out gluten but have a sweet tooth.

The last photo is not my own. It is from the source of the recipe at Nourished. I ate the cookies too quickly to snap a photo of the finished product. Ooops!
Never thought of Rosemary in cookies! Or any dessert for that matter! Thanks for posting Elena, can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteHi girls! They were SO good! The honey balanced with the rosemary quite nicely!
DeleteOooO! I love a good shortbread cookie, but have yet to try rosemary shortbread. Adding to my to-do list!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these! I just made another batch this week and devoured them within a few day. They are not too sweet (juuust right!) and the rosemary is a delicious touch!
