    Lovely herby flavour that turned out well despite spilling my water on the dough :o/

    The unusual blend of walnuts and rosemary in the shortbread is very subtle and delicious. I made them when friends came round for coffee, they lasted five minutes on the plate! Highly recommended.

    I made these a couple of days ago, and they are definitely worth a try! I used brazil nuts instead of walnuts which worked equally well!
