Rosemary Pine Nut Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Finely chop rosemary in a food processor. Add pine nuts, pulse until coarsely ground.
• Transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in 2 cups of the flour, the baking soda,ginger and salt. Set aside.
• Put butter and sugar in a separate bowl and with an electric mixer, mix on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Mix in oil and reduce speed to low. Mix in flour mixture. Add cream and mix until well combined, about 2 minutes. Mix in egg and remaining 1/2 cup flour.
• Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls and space about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Flatten slightly with fingers and top each with one pine nut. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake cookies rotating sheets halfway through until edges are golden, about 13 minutes. Let cool about 10 minutes on sheets on wire racks. Transfer cookies to racks to cool completely. Can be stored in airtight containers up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, fennel seed, and salt in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Add the flour and mix just until blended.
• Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape the dough into an 8-inch-long log. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line heavy large baking sheets with a silpat or parchment paper. Cut the dough log crosswise into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick slices. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly apart. Press the pine nuts decoratively atop the cookies. Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. 10 tablespoons butter, softened ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest 2 eggs, at room temperature ¼ teaspoon lemon extract (optional) 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour ¾ cup coarse ground cornmeal (polenta) 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped , plus a few sprigs for garnish 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt ¼ cup pine nuts, plus extra for garnish Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar 2 tablespoons heavy cream 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Stir in lemon extract, if using. In separate bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, rosemary, baking powder and salt. Add dry mixture to butter mixture on low speed in 2 parts, just until dough comes together. Stir in pine nuts. Cover the and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, until dough is firm and scoopable. Heat the oven to 325°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls (I like to use a cookie scoop) and arrange on cookie sheets. Bake 12 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and slightly golden on edges. Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely. To make glaze, stir together powdered sugar, cream and lemon juice until smooth. Spread some glaze on each cookie; top with a few rosemary sprigs and a pine nut.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Process 3/4 cup pine nuts, the sugar, almond paste, and vanilla in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add egg; pulse to combine. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; process just until dough comes together.
• Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls. Roll balls in remaining 1 1/4 cups pine nuts, gently pressing to coat. Space 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Bake until cookies begin to turn golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks.
