Herb Shortbread Cookies

I have tea every afternoon and I love having a little cookie or sandwich that will be a nice treat to go along with my tea. This Herb Shortbread Cookie is a wonderful sweet and savory mix that has a very mild flavor and is a perfect paring for that afternoon tea time. We have a lovely Herb Garden which makes it easy for me to take a walk to the herb garden and come back to the kitchen with just the right flavors.

I was very excited to have Culinary Adventures with Camilla as my assigned blog from theSecret Recipe Club this month. Camilla has such an interesting blog with adventure and fabulous food. She began her blog in 2009 and hasn't slowed down, she has so many fabulous recipes on this site, it is very difficult to make a decision to narrow the path to just one. Camilla is our team leader for Group B in the Secret Recipe Club and she does a fantastic job of keeping our group going. When she isn't cooking or blogging you will find her making jewelry or hiking with her three boys and her husband Jake. Please stop by her blog and try some of her recipes. One of the recipes I plan on trying in the future is Savory Curry Apple Butter and the recipe that I have adapted from her blog today is Sage Shortbread.

Herb Shortbread Cookie

Miz Helen's Kitchen

Adapted From Culinary Adventures with Camilla

makes 24 cookies

Ingredients

10 tablespoons cold butter

1/2 cup sugar (for dough)

1/4 cup sugar (for finishing roll)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon honey

1 egg, beaten

1- 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon fresh sage, minced

1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions

In a medium size mixing bowl, mix the butter and sugar until creamy.  Add vanilla and honey, mix until completely blended.

Stir in the beaten egg and mix until the egg has been completely incorporated.

Add the flour a little at a time until all the four is blended into the mix.

Stir in the herbs and stir until all the herbs are evenly mixed in the dough.

Place the dough in the center of a large wax paper and form a long roll, then roll the dough with sugar, lightly covering the outside of the roll.

Cover the roll with the wax paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Slice the chilled dough roll into 1/4 inch slices.

Place the slices on the cookie sheet and sprinkle the tops with sugar.

Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until slightly browned.

Transfer to a wire rack and cool, (but they are really good warm right out of the oven)

Enjoy!
