Description
These rice flour sugar cookies are also gluten-free sugar cookies because rice flour is naturally gluten-free. Also, the recipe has no eggs, so the color of these cookies is white. As kids, we called them 'snow white cookies'. Just like sugar cookies, these rice flour sugar cookies are crisp and crumbly. They hold their shape well and can be used to make beautifully frosted cookies.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (100 g) Vegetable Shortening or butter
- ¾ cup (90 g) Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1½ cup (240 g) Rice flour
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Water up to 8 tbsp -if necessary
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, cornstarch, and salt – combine well. Lastly, add the rice flour in two batches – and mix well.Pro tip: If the dough feels too dry – add one or two tablespoons water (up to 4 tbsp if necessary)½ cup Vegetable Shortening , ¾ cup Powdered sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, 1 tbsp Cornstarch, ¼ tsp Salt, 1½ cup Rice flour, ¼ cup Water
- Divide the dough into two discs. Wrap in plastic and let chill in the fridge until firm enough to roll – about an hour.
- Preheat the oven at 170 C/ 340 F
- Roll the dough on a lightly dusted surface (use rice flour). Cut out cookies using a cookie cutter. Transfer them to a parchment-lined baking tray. Pro tip: Alternatively, you can roll the dough into balls, flatten it on your palm, and place it on a baking tray.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges start to get a slight color. These cookies are white even after baking, so it’s easy to overbake them.
- When done, remove onto a cooling rack and cool completely. Then, transfer to an airtight cookie jar.
- These cookies will keep for up to 2 weeks.
