Ingredients
- 2 cups Flourish Flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter softened
- 2 tablespoons mild honey
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 Degrees
- Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and rosemary in a bowl.
- Mix together butter, honey, and confectioner sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed, then add flour mixture and mix until dough resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps.
- Gather dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough until it just comes together, about eight times.
- Divide dough in half and form each half into a 5-inch disk.
- Roll out one disk (keep remaining dough at room temperature) between two sheets of parchment into a 9 inch round (trim as necessary).
- Remove the top sheet of parchment and transfer the dough on the bottom sheet of parchment to a baking sheet.
- Score dough into 8 wedges by pricking dotted lines with a fork, then mark edges decoratively.
- Arrange rosemary sprigs decoratively on top of dough pressing lightly to help adhere, and sprinkle dough with 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar.
- Bake shortbread in the middle of the oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Slide shortbread on parchment to a rack and cool five minutes.
- Transfer with a metal spatula to a cutting board and cut along score marks with a large heavy knife.
- Make other shortbread with remaining dough.
