Creator Notes
This cookie appropriate sort won a Blue Ribbon on the Unique Mexico Enlighten Magnificent! The fresh rosemary makes for a appetizing shock. It turned into developed for excessive altitude (5,000 feet). While you make it at sea stage, expand the sugar to a pair/4 cups and gash the oven to 350. I added the lemon zest to brighten up the rosemary model. Since seasonings prefer to be more assertive at excessive altitude, you would additionally no longer need it at sea stage. The cornmeal adds a little bit crunch and the potato starch makes the cookie a little bit gentle. Attain no longer gash the pine nuts in the meals processor; it is too straightforward to over gash. —garlic&lemon
