  1. These are very nice! I had one right out of the oven and the rosemary was very subtle - almost untraceable - and the lemon was just perfect. Once cool, the rosemary is slightly stronger, but still subtle, and goes quite well with the lemon. I ended up with two 12"-long rolls, about 3/4" in diameter, which made 4 dozen cookies. I had to chill the dough for 30 minutes or so before I could divide and roll it as it was so sticky. The rolls then ended up chilling for another 3.5 hours before I had a chance to bake them, but the extra chill time didn't seem to have any negative effect. These were very different from the usual cookies I make and I'm very glad I tried them. Thanks so much for posting!

  3. Nice, delicate lemon flavor. You can definitely taste the rosemary, a half tsp is plenty for me!

I am married and a father of 2. I love to hunt, fish, trap, hike, rock climb, camp, garden and cook. By trade I am a welder, but I also make knives and am a semi-professional blacksmith. My family and I live on a self-sustainable homestead. We raise a big garden of heirloom vegetables. I collect antique varieties of apple, pear, plum, quince, cherry, mulberry and grapes. We raise meat rabbits, chickens for meat and eggs and we raise 2 breeds of pigs. I make my own beer, cider, perry and wine. I also have a medicinal garden from which I make a lot of herbal remedies. I use organic, self sufficient practices with everything I raise to eat and plan on teaching this to my kids as they grow up.
