Description

These buttery, dense treats are melt-in-your mouth delicious and include rice flour, sugar and butter as ingredients.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rice flour (I like Bob's Red Mill White Rice Flour)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar plus more for sprinkling on top
  • 1 cup salted butter, melted and cooled

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, rice flour and sugar. Stir in the melted butter. Add a little more flour if needed for the dough to be a firm consistency.
  3. Press evenly into prepared pan to a thickness of about 1 inch.
  4. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until the shortbread is evenly golden brown and slightly pulling away from the sides of the pan.
  5. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle generously with the extra sugar and immediately cut into cookie sticks about 1 inch by 2 inch each.
  6. Cool completely before removing from pan.

Notes

  • Make sure the oven is preheated at least 15 minutes before you bake the cookies. This will ensure they bake evenly and there are not any hot or cold spots in the oven.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper so the shortbread cookies slide out easily.
  • If using unsalted butter, add 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt to the recipe.
  • Firmly and evenly press the cookie dough into the pan. The shortbread cookies will then all be the same thickness.
  • Make sure to sprinkle the baked shortbread with a generous amount of granulated sugar and cut in the pan as soon as you take it out of the oven. Shortbread is delicate and crumbly by nature. Cutting 1 by 2 inch cookie sticks while they are hot helps prevent the cookies from falling apart.
  • Also let them cool completely in the pan before removing them.
