Step-by-Step Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
• Mix in the lemon zest, vanilla extract, and finely chopped rosemary on low speed until combined.
• Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• Roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thick on a floured countertop.
• Cut the rolled-out dough into shapes using cookie cutters and place them on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
