2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs beaten
grated zest of one orange
1 TB minced fresh rosemary
1 and 1/2 cups flour

preheat oven 375'

cream the butter and vanilla, then add the sugar, eggs, orange zest, and rosemary
blend well
sift the flour and salt together then add to the creamed ingredients
combine well

butter a baking sheet or two
drop by tspoonfulls onto the cookie sheet / they will flatten out so give them space
bake for 15 - 18 minutes or when the edges are slightly browned along the edges

not too sweet they cant be beat

let cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before sliding them off with a spatula to continue to cool on a rack
