I'm not a big fan of rosemary, but I decided to give these cookies a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The rosemary flavor is very subtle, and it pairs perfectly with the lemon.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.
