Rosemary and Lemon Cookies

So I went to work the other day and a coworker had brought some cookies made by his wife. Mind you every cookie that she has made before has always been delicious. What was interesting about these cookies is that there were made with rosemary and lemon. Grant it, I have a taste for strong flavors, so this was right up my alley.

Imagine a sweet roasted chicken, without the chicken. Such great pairings of the herbs and citrus. I think the cookies would relate nicely with a fresh Pinot Grigio or a Sauvignon Blanc. I have never had such a treat with inspiring flavors from a garden. They were a nice dessert to my day.

The moral to this post is to open your eyes to different flavors of cookies, rather than the chocloate chip or oatmeal raisin most of us were raised with.
