Ingredients

2 C. (1 lb.) unsalted butter

3 C. sifted flour

1 C. rice flour (or: 3/4 C. cornstarch)

1 C. powdered sugar

pinch of salt

1 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cream the butter and add the sugar gradually.

Blend well, but DO NOT overwork or let the butter become oily.

Gradually work in the flours.

Turn dough onto a slightly floured board (sprinkled with partly icing sugar and flour) and roll out to 1/4 to 1/2 " thick.

Cut into rectangles then prick surface with a fork.

Place shortbread on a baking/cookie sheet and bake 5 minutes, then turn oven temperature down to 300 degrees and bake an additional 15 mins. or until golden...not brown!

Yields approx. 75 to 80 cookies

Those look wonderful - I can't wait to try this recipe. I will make these at the holidays for sure...I like to dip one end in melted dark chocolate then. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

This recipe is different because the cutting and the pricking is before going into the oven. This has to make the cookies not as hard but flaky. I've been experimenting!
