How to Make Rosemary Pecan Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup finely ground pecans, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary. Mix until just combined. The dough will be crumbly.
  4. Fill 12 cups of a muffin tin about ¾ full, firmly patting the dough into each cup with your fingers.
  5. Refrigerate the muffin tin for 20-30 minutes.
  6. Optional: Gently mark each cookie with a decorative pattern using a toothpick or skewer.
  7. Place one pecan half in the center of each cookie.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the centers are firm to the touch and the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
