The next cookies to show up at my door were these Rosemary Butter Shortbread cookies from BlogChickabowow. One of the first savory cookies I’ve had in a long time. They were so good! Perfect with sweet tea in my opinion! The perfect texture, a good flavor but not over-powering. Loved having these around as a little treat when I wasn’t in the mood for something super sweet.

The last box of cookies to arrive on my door step where these Dark Chocolate Florentine cookies from Chocolate and Carrots!
