Rosemary Refrigerator Cookies

These Rosemary Refrigerator Cookies bring back so many memories. My Grandma Patty was an herb farmer and entrepreneur starting in the 1980s. Not an easy feat for the wife of a farmer in a small town in south Texas. Not only did she grow herbs which she sold to local restaurants and grocery stores, but she created recipes specifically for her herbs. I wonder where I got my love of fresh food from? I did a little Googling today and found this article from a few years ago!

These cookies filled her deep freezer. She would make HUGE batches and just save them for when she would do demos at stores. I remember one day, I realized just how many dozens of cookies she had back there. She couldn’t possible miss 2 or 3. But I didn’t eat just 2 or 3. I could. not. quit. these cookies and I ate until my stomach hurt. One would think I would have learned a lesson, or at least have a strong aversion to rosemary and lemon flavored things, but I do not. I made Rosemary Refrigerator Cookies recently and I found myself AGAIN going back to the fridge over and over again. They are simple to make, seem super fancy, and easy to keep in the freezer for a dinner party or to give as a gift.

If you want to gild the lily like I always do, melt some bittersweet chocolate chips with some coconut oil and dip the cookies in the chocolate! I dare you not to eat 10 cookies!

Do you have a food that is just filled with nostalgia that you cannot quit? Let me know in the comments!

Equipment

  • food processor or pastry blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cold butter diced into pea-sized pieces
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

  • In the food processor, pulse cold butter and flour until it looks like a coarse meal.
  • Add sugar, egg yolk, rosemary, and lemon zest. Mix until it is well combined and a dough balls up.
  • On a piece of wax paper, form dough into a cylinder, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Wrap up the log of dough in the wax paper and chill in the fridge overnight, or in the freezer for 2-3 hours. You want the dough to be firm so that it still holds its shape when you slice it.
  • Once the dough is chilled, slice into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1/2 inch apart. Cook for 10-13 minutes until the edges start turning a nice golden brown, but the tops are not.
  • Remove and let cool. Dip in chocolate if you so choose.

Notes

Chocolate Glaze
If you are like me and want to take these up a notch, make this easy chocolate glaze. Dip or drizzle to your heart’s content.
Combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 45-60 seconds until it is melted, stirring every 20 seconds. Drizzle chocolate over the cookies, or dip the cookies however you like. Place them on a tray lined with wax paper and chill until the chocolate is set.
