Recipe from Dragon's Kitchen
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
1 cup of flour 2 tbsp of fresh rosemary
1/4 cup of butter, cut into cubes
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of sour cream Salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor, place flour, rosemary, butter, salt and pepper. Pulse until combined.
Add the Parmesan cheese and sour cream.
Pulse until the dough comes together.
Roll dough out into a log and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Slice dough into cookies and place them on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, until they just start to brown.
Serve with balsamic syrup.


Balsamic Syrup
Ingredients:
1 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons of sugar
3 tablespoons of light flavored honey

Directions:
Combine balsamic vinegar, sugar and honey in a saucepan over medium/low heat.

Simmer until reduced by ½ and has the consistency of syrup.

Be careful not to let it reduce too much or it will become bitter and hard. Also watch out for the fumes from the vinegar as it cooks.

Allow the syrup to come to room temperature. You can cover and refrigerate the syrup for up to 2 weeks.

COMMENTS: These were goodish... i don't know how i feel about them. One thing i did learn is the more i cook with rosemary, the less i believe i like it.
