Lemon Almond Rosemary Melts

Ingredients
  

  • 170 Grams Unsalted Room Temperature Butter 12 Tablespoons
  • 65 Grams Powdered Sugar ½ Cup
  • 2 Teaspoons Finely Chopped Fresh Rosemary or 1 Teaspoon of Finely Chopped Dried Rosemary
  • 2 Teaspoons Freshly Grated Lemon Zest
  • ¼ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 180 grams All Purpose Flour 1 ½ Cups
  • 6 Tablespoons Almond Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
  • Extra powdered sugar for coating

Instructions
 

  • In a stand mixer or using a bowl and a hand mixer cream together the butter, sugar, rosemary, lemon zest and salt until light and fluffy on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the lemon juice, flour, almond flour and corn starch and mix on low speed until incorporated.
  • Divide the dough in half and form into 2 square logs approximately 7” long and 1 ¼” square.
  • I like to roll the logs to the desired length and then wrap in plastic wrap. I then begin to gently press flat and continue to turn so that you have flattened on 4 sides creating the square shape.
  • Place in the refrigerator to chill for about 2 hours. When chilled slice the logs 1/4” and place the slices on a parchment lined baking sheets. For longer storage wrap well and place in the freezer.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 13-14 minutes or until the edges begin to brown slightly.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 1-2 minutes. Dredge the cookies in the powdered sugar and place on a rack to cook completely.
  • Store in a air tight container separated by parchment or waxed paper. Before serving you may need to re-dredge in powdered sugar.
  • Make approximately 50 cookies.
