How to Make Rosemary Pine Nut Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Finely chop 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary in a food processor.
  3. Add 1/2 cup pine nuts to the food processor and pulse until coarsely ground.
  4. Transfer the rosemary-pine nut mixture to a large bowl.
  5. Whisk in 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  6. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer on high speed until pale and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  7. Reduce mixer speed to low and mix in 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
  8. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  9. Mix in 1/2 cup heavy cream until well combined (about 2 minutes).
  10. Mix in 1 large egg and the remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
  11. Shape the dough into 3/4-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  12. Flatten the balls slightly with your fingers and top each with one pine nut.
  13. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  14. Bake for 13-15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are golden brown.
  15. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  16. Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
