Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: the flour, salt, baking soda, paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, and rosemary. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, shortening, and both sugars. Mix in maple syrup and vanilla.

Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and allow to cool one minute on tray before transferring to a cooking rack.
Recipe Note
For a fun gift, or for easy cookie-making for yourself, we have a Spiced Rosemary Chocolate Chip Cookie Kit over in our gift box department!
The 1 1/2 Tbsp. Rosemary is the amount for fresh; 2 tsp. is the amount for dry (I’ve updated the recipe to clarify). That could be making the difference in how dry the overall mixture is.
Something is missing. I have checked the recipe. Several times. The mixture is just crumbly cannot even scoop it.
