Looking for the perfect holiday cookie recipe? These decadent rosemary-chocolate shortbread cookies are perfect for your next cookie exchange party, to gift to friends and family and are the ideal holiday treat to indulge in with a glass of hot cocoa, almond milk, or apple cider.
Think shortbread and your first thought is butter—and loads of it! This recipe is my version of the traditional shortbread cookie and calls for replacing the butter with coconut oil. It provides this vegan shortbread with a satisfying crumbly melt in your mouth texture of traditional shortbread, and you will not miss the butter! One more tip for the perfect shortbread texture is to not skip the extra step called for in the recipe and chill the dough for a couple of hours before baking.
Rosemary and cocoa make for a great combination. Don’t skimp on the vanilla salt, as it elevates the taste to a whole new level. Do make these rosemary chocolate shortbread cookies for the holidays. There is no better way to get into the holiday spirit!
