A long long time ago.. on a garden forum..I "met" a charming young woman.. with a nice husband and 2 adorable kids.. Eventually..we even met in person..and we have kept in touch..even though we both have busy lives:)
She called last week and mentioned her Rosemary Shortbread cookies..:)
It's been tea weather these days with snow acculumation again
I thought ..hmm.. I'll make Deb's shortbreads..she had been kind enough to send me photos of her beautiful family..and doggie as well as the recipe~
They're delicious..
The little soupçon of Rosemary is just lovely..
Light as air~
I know she won't mind my sharing~:)
La Recette~
Rosemary Shortbread
Cream butter and sugar. Stir in dry. Roll and cut. 375 for 10 minutes.
I had to share my new teaspoon set..a birthday gift form my daughter~ They will occasionally show up here~♥
My Notes..I still have the rice flour from my little trip to my Asian shop..so I substituted 1/4 cup w/ that..and I halved the recipe.I baked them a little longer as they were baked in molds..a little thicker than rolled ~
They are delish~

P.S.- I must ask- I have been searching for small fleur de lys molds for quite some time. May I ask where you got them?
Isn't it amazing how blogging and the internet can make us connect like that? Your measuring spoons are lovely - your daughter has great taste! And the shortbread - delicious! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese shortbread cookies so good, and I am sure the rosemary is a nice touch... I love anything with rosemary :) Love your measuring spoons!!
ReplyDeleteI love rosemary shortbreads. I love those molds -- they are truly special.
ReplyDeleteRosemary shortbreads are perfect for tea -- I love the perfume of the rosemary both in the nose and in the mouth!
you have the most beautiful and magical things n people in your life! shortbreads in fleur de lys, 'royal' measuring spoons, beautiful talent...just wonderful coming here.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that recipe card!!! Where did you get that? The spoons and the card and the photos... all so magical... do you live in a magic castle too???
ReplyDeleteGood morning..so nice !
ReplyDeleteThe FDL mold was bought at DR Design and Realisation..
www.dr.ca
It was Les Gourmandises d'Isa that told me about the company.It is a company that specializes in chocolate and pastry equipment..
Deana..I can send you the template for the recipe card.. I forget the source..perhaps Graphics Fairy but I can send it just say the word:)
I should have learned a lesson and saved the names of the graphic downloads along the way.I apologize..
Have a great day~
I love anything in the shape of a fleur de lis, especially if it is sweet. Such beautiful measuring spoons. How special to receive them from your daugther. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe.

Convincing elegant - adorable simple - mouthwatering decorated!
ReplyDeleteOh how I would love a cup of tea and one of those shortbread cookies! Then again they are too pretty to eat. The spoons are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove those shortbread cookies - the shape is beautiful. And adorable measuring spoons!
ReplyDeleteLovely measuring spoons, I can imagine your joy in receiving them from your daughter. That is such a beautiful shape and flavor for shortbread.

What a beautiful gift from your daughter. She has fabulous taste!
ReplyDeleteeveryone has said everything good about this blog post...
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful.
I am deeply in love with your spoons!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there in your kitchen to share them with you! I love the fleur de lys...Quebec is close to my heart. Your kind words made my day. Glad they turned out. I bet the rice flour gave them a that nice texture that you usually get with cornstarch. And a good idea for people who want to cut back on wheat flour.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try these. I've never made rosemary shortbread and there's no time like the present. The spoons are rather extraordinary. Quite a find.
ReplyDeleteYour shortbread cookies are mouthwatering - love those spoons too. Thanks for stopping by and for your nice comment.
ReplyDeleteHave aa greaatt day

ReplyDeleteThe shortbread cookies look like they could float away! And the rosemary flavor would be marvelous! Super recipe.
