rosemary shortbread cookies ______________ i miss so many things right now. i miss spending time with my friends and family. i miss traveling. i miss going to coffee shops and losing track of time while reading a book. i miss bringing cookies over to my grandparents as my grandma once again proves herself to be the reigning champion of dominoes. there’s so many things that connect us to one another and food is one of them. these cookies (recipe by the one and only joanne chang) remind me of a sweet era of my life when i was living in boston and spending SO much time with loved ones at @flourbakeryandcafe. it’s difficult to capture how wonderful they are. they melt in your mouth. they’re earthy and buttery with deep caramel notes. the recipe is easy peasy, but has too many steps to post. dm me for details. stay cozy. be good to yourself. and to quote my baking queen @joannebchang : eat dessert first. • • • • #homebaking #bake #rosemary #cookies #joannechang #cooking #commontable #homecooking #shenandoahvalley #mycommontable #eatdessertfirst #cookiesofinstagram #shortbreadcookies #foodie #foodstagram #vscofood
