1. Rosemary Madeleines with White Chocolate

Chopped rosemary is mixed in with a classic madeleine batter, infusing flavor in every bite. Enjoy them hot out of the oven or give them an extra delicious shell by spooning a little white chocolate into your pan before pressing in your baked rosemary madeleines to create a beautiful mold.

2. Rosemary Shortbread

A simple bake and one of my absolute favorite rosemary recipes, this shortbread comes together easily in one bowl and makes for the perfect treat. Topped straight out of the oven with a little rosemary sugar, it’s just perfection.

3. Rosemary Challah Bread Rolls

To level up your next feast, make these individual, knotted bread rolls. They give a light rosemary bite, perfect solo or slathered in salty butter.

4. Rosemary & White Chocolate Thumbprints

That shortbread I love so much? Instead of pressing it into a pan, we’re rolling it into balls and making them into the best thumbprint cookies. Filled with a gooey white chocolate ganache, these make for the perfect bite.

5. Mushroom & Rosemary Galette

Few things beat a simple savory galette. This one, with rosemary-infused mushrooms wrapped in a buttery pie crust, makes it to the top of my list of favorite savory rosemary recipes.

6. Rosemary Cheesecake with Cranberry Compote

Chopped rosemary infuses this cheesecake, baked on a cinnamon graham cracker crust. It’s so good my mom said it was “one of the best cheesecakes” she’d ever had. 

The sharply sweet topping of cranberry compote brings all the flavors together in sweet, creamy, herby dreams.

7. Lemon Rosemary Loaf Cake

If you love a loaf cake like me, this balances that classic rosemary and lemon pairing, but in a sweet bake. Topped with a sharp lemon glaze, you won’t be able to have just one slice.

8. Rosemary & White Chocolate Scones

In case you don’t know, white chocolate and rosemary are best friends (at least in the flavor department. These classic buttermilk scones have a fragrant twist, with melty bites of white chocolate throughout.

9. Rosemary Cranberry Mocktail

Because rosemary doesn’t have to be just eaten, it can be sipped. With a rosemary simple syrup base, this fun, small-batch mocktail balances all your sweet, sour, and fizzy needs with a unique twist.

10. Mini Roasted Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia

For my tiny kitchen champions or those who don’t want a whole pan of bread, this mini focaccia, stuffed with rosemary and roasted garlic, can be baked right in a toaster oven. The perfect side to soup and salad!

11. Rosemary White Beans

Fiber never tasted so good. A simple, 5-ingredient dish, packed with flavor, and paired deliciously with the above focaccia or homemade French baguettes.
