BURNT ORANGES WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Place oranges cut-side up on a plate and sprinkle rosemary on top, pressing it into oranges so it adheres. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
• On a grill or stovetop, put a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on surface. Spread remaining 1/4 cup sugar in skillet and when it starts to caramelize place oranges, cut-side down, on sugar. Let cook for 3 to 4 minutes, not moving oranges, so cut side burns nicely and oranges soften.
• To serve, place 2 orange halves in bowl with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, and drizzle with burnt sugar juices from skillet.

• If you want to add a drop of food coloring, do so.
• Put a portion of dough into the cookie press.
• Shape dough with cookie press. ( When I use the swirlie plate, I like to get some dough onto the cookie sheet with press' feet? down --whatever you call them- LOL-- right on the cookie sheet and then turn the screw gizmo about 3 rotations. The first few usually do not look the best but by about the third one I have it figured out.).
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 14-15 minutes. If you use a dark cookie sheet it will take less time.
