Lemon-Rosemary shortbread with pine nuts



  • 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
  • scant teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter , at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • zest of one lemon
  • 2/3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted, loosely chopped
  • 1-1/4 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
mix four and salt
whip butter till fluffly, add lemon, rosemary and pinenuts, whip well
add four mixture-only mix till it gets crumbly...
bring to a ball with spoon or on lightly floured counter
kneed once or twice, make ball, flatten to disk
refrigerate for hour or so
roll out 1/2 inch or so thin and cut any way you like

( NEXT time I will use less sugar and lemon, a little more salt and rosemary)
