At first I was a little skeptical about a savory cookie but these rosemary pine nut cookies are delicious! They are perfect for a breakfast treat, summer luncheon, BBQ – honestly everyone is going to love them. The best part you can use the herbs from your garden this summer! And they are so easy to make.

1 tsp baking soda

1-1/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp olive oil- the good stuff!
3 Tbsp milk- I used whole milk
