ROSEMARY PINE NUT COOKIES
These are from a Martha Stewart magazine. I tried them this year for our Thanksgiving cookie plate and they were wonderful. Everyone except my DH loved them..he said, "Ugh, Rosemary is great in chicken, but it does not belong in cookies...chocolate, chocolate belongs in cookies"..bah, what does he know? They a lovely cookie, for a sophisticated palate, , the rosemary is a slight after taste, not overpowering at all. I'm making them again for Christmas .

TUSCAN ROSEMARY AND PINE NUT BARS
From Melanie Barnard, author of "Short and Sweet"...found this recipe in The Best American Recipes 2000". These make a cookie like shortbread and the contrast of the savory rosemary with the shortbread is incredible. A friend went nuts over these the first time I made them and then spent an entire weekend baking a huge batch for Christmas treats for her friends and family. This is a love/hate thing - if you love rosemary and shortbread, these are a MUST try...but not for you if you are fussy about adding anything to your shortbread...These are probably a bit sophisticated for a kid's palate...but your women friends will LOVE them.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a rack at the middle level.
- Spread the pine nuts on a cookie sheet and place in the oven. Toast, stirring once or twice to prevent burning, until they are a shade darker and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully; pine nuts burn easily. Remove from the cookie sheet and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the confectioner's sugar, rosemary and pine nuts. Then stir in the flour to make a stiff dough.
- Spread and pat the dough evenly into an ungreased 8-inch square baking pan. bake until the bars are golden and firm at the edges, about 20 minutes. Cool the pan on a rack for about 2 minutes, then use a sharp knife to cut into 16 squares. Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing them with a small spatula. The bars can be stored, tightly covered, for up to 5 days, or frozen for 1 month.

Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a microplane to finely grate the lemon zest. This will help to release the lemon's essential oils and give the cookies a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just beginning to turn golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
