Shortbread Cookie Recipe

Gran always said the secret to her shortbread recipe was using rice flour. You end up with something that will just melt on your tongue, leaving a huge grin on your face. You can bake this recipe as rolled and cut-out cookies, or in a fancy stoneware shortbread mold... or as we've always done; a shaped round that is cut into wedges after cooking.


Ingredients:
1 cup no salt butter at room temperature
1/2 cup powdered fruit sugar
1/2 cup rice flour
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 all purpose flour

Method:
In a bowl cream the butter. Gradually add sugar and beat until fluffy. Gradually add rice flour and all purpose flour until the mixture is too difficult to mix with a spoon. Turn onto a floured board and knead lightly, drawing in flour until the dough begins to crack. Form into a ball, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cut ball into half. Place one segment on one side of an un-greased baking sheet. Pat the dough into a circular shape roughly 1/4 inch thick. Take a fork and prick a lovely pattern onto the top of the dough. Do the same for the second segment of dough.
Place into an oven 300 ºF and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. When the dough is slightly golden remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and remove from baking sheet to cooling rack.

OR
Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick and cut into cookie shapes. Place on an un-greased baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes in an oven set at 300ºF. When slightly golden remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove from baking sheet onto cooling rack.
