But not like you've had before.
These are wonderful; delectable; refreshing; fun to make; amazing to eat--
herbal sugar cookies!
I first heard of the recipe and went, ?! herbal sugar cookies?? Strange.
Then I made and tasted them.
W.o.w.
They're far better than one would imagine. far better than regular sugar cookies. These are killer. And so very easy!!
1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 to 1 cup fresh finely chopped herbs (I have been making mine with mint. They are oh-so-good. Another variation is to make them with rosemary!)
Cream butter and sugar. (seriously, do. this makes the final result soooo much better! My sis made them and didn't cream the butter and sugar and we found that the cookies were not so fluffy and became stale. Probably because no one ate them) Add eggs, mixing well. Add vanilla. Mix in flour, sifted with salt and baking powder, kneading toward the last if necessary. Add herbs. If using more than one kind of herb, separate in half, and then add the herbs. Refrigerate one hour.
Roll out a little over 1/4 inch thick. Note: dust counter or board with a combo of flour and sugar to prevent stickiness.
Bake at 375 Fahrenheit until bottoms are lightly browned--about 8 to 10 minutes.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
Or it would if I'd stop eating them. Hah!
