If you’re looking for a versatile shortbread cookie recipe, look no further. This version from Ben Mims uses both vanilla and rosemary for a sweet, savory, and perfectly crumbly bite. This no-fuss recipe uses all-purpose flour, salted European butter, and fresh vanilla beans, and is made without any special equipment or complex techniques. Just gently press the dough into the pan, bake, and slice while warm!
