Sue Gronholz writes from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, "These buttery cookies are one of my favorites. I added the rosemary and substituted golden raisins for the regular raisins in the original."

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup golden raisins

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the rosemary, lemon peel and extract. Combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in raisins.
Roll into 1-in. balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Cookies may be frozen for up to 3 months.

I was already to make these then realized there is no sugar measurement given. Sugar is listed in the directions but not in the ingredient list.

I always make sure to have a rosemary plant each year, just so I can make these!

These are wonderful cookies - light and delicious with subtle flavors of lemon and rosemary. The golden raisins add a touch of class
