Made these last night and followed recipe to a T.<\/p>
They taste nice, nothing spectacular though. You get the rosemary flavor (i love rosemary in baked goods) but otherwise, flavor is a bit too mild. I suspected that rolling the dough to 1\/8\" would be too thin and, I was right. It makes them hard cookies and I would much prefer a thicker cookie that has some softness to it. Might try again but roll to no thinner than 1\/4\". Might allow more flavor to come through in each bite?<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"160594","romance_copy_dek":"I recommend serving these cookies with tea.
