    Cookies are not only good if you make them with chocolate and nuts… even though you could think so looking at the number of cookie recipes I got for cookies with chocolate and/or cookies with nuts ;) Nope… there are many other combinations that work well. For example, everything with citrus is normally awesome – like these Lemon & Rosemary Cookies. So good!

    When it comes to combining different ingredients and flavors I think I tried quite a bit for Cookie Friday already. Different kinds of nuts, berries, fruits, herbs, and flavors – there are so many possibilities. The combination of lemon and rosemary is not new to me. Some time ago I made already Lemon-Rosemary-Chocolate Cookies – really nice cookies. Even though the ingredients for these cookies here are similar to the ones with chocolate – completely different world. The chocolate makes a big difference ;)

    The Lemon & Rosemary Cookies here are much more on the citrusy side – right up my alley ;) The citrus flavor is strong and gets supported by the rosemary. It’s not much, but I like it. If you are a big fan of rosemary you are free to amp up the amount of rosemary – twice the amount should still work fine and not be too much ;)

    Do you have any flavor combinations you like a lot? Maybe something I should try someday for Cookie Friday or other bakes? More than happy to hear what you think :)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Mix the sugar and lemon zest for the rolling sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

    2. For the dough add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and mix until well combined. Add the rosemary and lemon zest and mix in. Mix the flour with baking powder, and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls and roll in the sugar-lemon-zest mixture and place with some space in between on the prepared baking sheet – I could fit twelve on one sheet. Flatten them with the palm of your hand and bake for about 12 minutes. The cookies should get only a light golden color. Take out of the oven and transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

    1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Für den Zitronenzucker den Zucker und Zitronenabrieb in einer kleinen Schüssel vermischen und dann zur Seite stellen.

    2. Für den Teig die Butter mit dem Zucker in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Eigelb dazugeben und gut unterrühren. Zitronenschale und Rosmarin dazugeben und unterrühren. Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann zur Schüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Aus dem Teig etwa walnußgroße Kugeln formen, diese dann im Zitronenzucker wälzen, mit etwas Abstand auf das Blech setzen und mit der Handinnenfläche leicht flachdrücken. Ich hab etwa 12 Portionen auf ein Blech bekommen. Für 12 Minuten backen, bis die Cookies eine ganz leichte goldene Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf einem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen. Mit dem restlichen Teig wiederholen.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
