Rosemary & Lemon Butter Cookies

Today was my last day teaching garden classes before summer starts. What better way to close the fun-filled year than to make sweets with one’s students? ;-)

The idea for this lesson was to introduce some unique & easy recipes using ingredients from the kids’ garden. One of my students suggested cookies. At first, I was slightly hesitant about baking dessert with them. But at the same time, I knew it would be more fun than the usual Kale Salad. Plus, we don’t have veggies growing in this new garden yet, so I didn’t have much to work with… So I opted for an HERB recipe.

Due to testing and last-week-of-school activities, my students didn’t actually end up attending my baking class; so I made these treats for the front desk instead. Needless to say, the staff was overjoyed and amazed :-)

These cookies are surprisingly easy if you use store-bought sugar cookie dough. If not, you can make your own. Anyone have a good recipe you want to share? :-)
