How to Make Rosemary Honey Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Position oven racks to divide the oven into thirds.
  2. Lightly grease two baking sheets with solid shortening.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup solid shortening, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop heaping teaspoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy! These cookies crisp up as they cool. Store in an airtight container.
