Yield Makes 1 1/2 to 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" pieces
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, plus whole leaves
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Coarse sanding sugar (for sprinkling)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast caraway seeds in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Coarsely chop; set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and salt until very light and fluffy, 7-10 minutes (beating air into butter makes for tender shortbread). Reduce speed to low and add flour, caraway, and 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary; mix just to combine. Dough will look shaggy and a little dry (it's not!).
  • Press dough into two 8"-diameter cake pans. Brush with egg, sprinkle with sanding sugar, and top with rosemary leaves.
  • Bake until shortbread is golden brown and sides pull away from pan, 20-25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool in pan before turning out and cutting into wedges or bars.
  • MAKE AHEAD: Shortbread dough can be made 1 month ahead; wrap tightly and freeze. Shortbread can be baked 1 week ahead; store wrapped tightly at room temperature.

I'm not a huge fan of rosemary, but I really enjoyed this shortbread. The caraway balances out the rosemary flavor perfectly.
