Ingredients

  • cups all purpose flour 
  • teaspoon coarse kosher salt 
  • tablespoons sage leaves dried fresh thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar 
  • cup butter unsalted cut into 1/2-inch-thick pieces, room temperature (2 sticks)

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • oven

Directions

  1. Blend first 4 ingredients in processor.
  2. Add butter; using on/off turns, process until dough comes together. Divide in half. Shape each dough piece into log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm enough to slice, about 30 minutes.
  3. Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  4. Cut each dough log into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick rounds; place on sheets.
  5. Bake 10 minutes. Reverse sheets so bottom sheet is on top rack of oven and top sheet is on bottom rack.
  6. Bake until cookies are golden, about 15 minutes longer. Cool on racks.
