Not too sweet, not too savory, these cookies can be enjoyed as a dessert or as an accompaniment to a cheese platter. The freshness of the rosemary pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness and nuttiness of the cornmeal. These cookies taste best after a day or two, as the flavors have time to marry and reach their full potential.
