ROSEMARY SHORTBREAD



Rosemary Shortbread image

This basic, buttery shortbread practically begs that you customize it to suit your own tastes or pantry supplies. The dough, which comes together quickly in a food processor, is already enhanced with rosemary, but nuts, seeds, citrus zest, spices, vanilla or minced dried fruit - or a combination of some of these - all make fine additions. Scale it up, scale it down. Add more salt, or use less. As long as you maintain the butter-flour ratio (one stick of butter for every cup of flour), you are free to play around. But the shortbread is delicious all on its own: tender, rich, crumbly, irresistible.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h29m

Yield about 2 1/2 dozen pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon water, if needed

Steps:

  • Put the flour, sugar, rosemary, salt, and Parmesan into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse just until a soft dough forms; the dough should hold together when squeezed with your hands. If not, add the water and pulse until combined.
  • Spread a large sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Using the plastic wrap as a guide, form the dough into a loose log along 1 edge of the long side of the sheet. Roll the dough log, twisting the plastic gathered at the ends in opposite directions until the log is tight and compact, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Slice the dough log into 1/3-inch thick slices and arrange on the lined sheets, about 1-inch apart. Bake until the edges are just beginning to brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Cool the shortbread on the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store the shortbread in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.

ROSEMARY AND PARMESAN SHORTBREAD

I had this at a party, last year before Christmas, and spent 2+ hours looking for it...finally found it at the Washington Times website; it is a Bev Bennett recipe, and is nice and different...may be served with recipe#347481, or is great stand alone!

Provided by alligirl

Categories     Savory

Time 20m

Yield 32 slices of shortbread, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (use the best you can...)
1/8-1/4 cup sugar (to taste, I prefer it less sweet)
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup cornmeal (I use white)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cream together butter, parmesan and sugar at med. speed in bowl of electric mixer. Scrape down contents.
  • Mix together flour, cornmeal, salt and rosemary in a bowl. Add to the creamed mixture, a little at a time.
  • Remove dough from bowl and form into a log approximately 9 inches long. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • Cut log into slices slightly wider than 1/4 inch. Place on parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in pre-heated oven for 13-15 minutes or until shortbread turns faintly brown on top and light brown on bottom. Remove from oven. Cool shortbread on wire rack.
  • Makes 32 slices of shortbread. May be wrapped in heavy duty foil and frozen for 1 month. To serve, spread frozen shortbread on a baking sheet. Warm in a 325 degree oven for 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture for your rosemary blue cheese shortbread, ensure that the butter is cold and cubed before incorporating it into the dry ingredients. This will help create a flaky and crumbly texture.
  • For a more pronounced rosemary flavor, use fresh rosemary leaves instead of dried rosemary. Finely chop the rosemary to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the shortbread.
  • If you prefer a milder blue cheese flavor, opt for a milder variety such as Castello Blue or Gorgonzola Dolce. For a more robust flavor, try using a sharper blue cheese like Roquefort or Stilton.
  • To achieve a golden brown color, brush the tops of the shortbread cookies with an egg wash before baking. This will also add a slight sheen to the cookies.
  • Allow the shortbread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the cookies from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Rosemary blue cheese shortbread is a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. With its flaky and crumbly texture and the addition of fresh rosemary and blue cheese, this shortbread is a unique and unforgettable treat. Whether you're enjoying it as a snack, dessert, or part of a cheese platter, this rosemary blue cheese shortbread is sure to be a hit. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and indulge in the deliciousness of this irresistible shortbread!
