These cookies are crisp and buttery with just enough sweetness. The lemon and rosemary add a twist to a classic shortbread cookie. I just love biting into this delicious cookie and getting a hint of citrus and savory rosemary. A match made in heaven. 


These shortbread cookies may look simple but are full of flavor. I like shortbread with a cup of tea in the afternoon for a pick me up.

Make a batch today, they are quick and make a great hostess gift!
