Shortbread Cookies
The classic recipe. Do not allow the dough to form a ball in the food processor because the cookies will be better if kneaded together by hand. If you do not have a food processor, make them by hand cutting the butter in by hand cutting the butter into the flour.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup rice flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cold unsalted butter, cubed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 275F.
Add sugar into food processor. Turn on and off twice to grind sugar finer. add flour, rice flour and salt to food processor. Add cold butter and process until combined. Do not form into a ball in the food processor.
Scrape mixture into a bowl and knead together to form the dough. Divide the dough into thirds and roll each third into circles about 1/2-inch thick.
Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds. Place on uncreased cookie sheet and prick each round with a fork.
Bake in center of oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until a creamy color. The shortbread will not be firm. It hardens as it cools.
Remove from oven and cool on cookie sheets. Keep in airtight containers for up to one month.
Makes about 40 cookies.
