Shortbread Cookies with Rice Flour
How to make shortbread cookies using rice flour
Yield: 36 cookies
Materials
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup berry sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer, cream butter until fluffy.
- Add sugar and cream together.
- Add vanilla extract and cream together on low.
- Slowly add rice flour and all purpose flour to the butter mixture. Mix together until almost fully combined. Remove dough from stand mixer and turn onto the countertop.
- Form the dough into a ball as best as you can. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough out, be patient as this takes a bit of time. Roll the dough until it's 1/4" in thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes.
- Place the shortbread cookies on a baking pan (ungreased). Prick the cookies with a fork. Bake shortbread cookies for 15-18 minutes at 300 degrees F. When the cookies are finished, they should be light, white colored. If the edges have begun to turn brown, they are overbaked.
- Cool on the baking pan for 5 minutes, then gently place them on a cooling rack.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
