Rosemary-Walnut Shortbread Insulator Cookies

 Rosemary-Walnut Shortbread Cookies
~ adapted from Martha Stewart ~
Rosemary signifies remembrance.  This is a classy, elegant cookie– between sweet and savory, the ground walnuts being part of the cookie batter, not just an added ingredient.  I cut them out with a glass telephone pole insulator.  My oldest brother used to get these, bring them home when he was a kid– 10 to 14 years of age– collect what he would find that would be cast off from a storm, or just from high winds, or from a rotted pole along a field line in Kansas.  I remember being in awe the first time I saw him bring them home, the colors; even the clear vintage glass was a beauty.  He and Mother would draw a sink of soapy water in the kitchen to wash them clean from the dirt, then hold them up at the light in the window.  I asked him to get one for me– He was a very good big brother, and I still adore him– and will forever.
 
[Operation Skirt]
 
Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Process walnuts for 1/2 cup–
 finely chopped.  In a bowl, whisk the ground walnuts with 1 1/2 cups flour, 
 
 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped
 fresh rosemary,
 and 1/2 teaspoon ground salt.
 With the paddle attachment, cream 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar, and 1/4 cup regular sugar.  Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
 Add the flour mixture, mixing until dough just comes together; do not over-mix.  Mound onto parchment paper to form a ball, adding another sheet of parchment over the dough, as well.  Flatten and roll over the parchment with a pin for 1/4-inch thickness.  Fold up the sides of the parchment, the edges, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
 Choose a cookie cutter if not an insulator (lol)…
 Dip into flour to prevent sticking, of course…
 Cut out the cookies, then dip the edges into raw sugar before baking 15 to 18 minutes on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
