Lemon & Rosemary Butter Cookies

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. In a large bowl, beat butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg yolks, rosemary and remaining lemon zest. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
2. Shape dough into 1-1/4-in. balls; roll in sugar mixture. Place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness with bottom of a glass. Sprinkle tops of cookies with remaining sugar mixture. Bake 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
