These sound really nice Cookie, did you have them with butter or something else savoury or just on their own?

They would be lovely served on a cheeseboard. We had them alone as nibbles with drinks last night as the cupboard was bare. They have enough flavour to stand alone. I might have them with tiny cubes of fruit paste tonight as I have some of that in the fridge.

These sound nice cookie, I might just have to make some as DH has been asking for something savoury lately.

Nice one Cookie!
I had some cheese and rosemary biscuits that a friend made last year and loved them - but forgot about them until just now!

Thanks for the bump. I must make some more. I love how the rosemary taste is subtle as it has been dried first.

Unfortunately I had to use dried from a jar rosemary as I didn't have time to dry my own. I used up some smoked cheese I had in the fridge. I can't really taste a smoky flavour. They are delicious and I've had to hide them from DH so I have enough for the BBQ on Sunday.  :D
