Julia’s Family Shortbread Recipe

Ingredients:

– 2 cups salted butter

– 1 cup fruit sugar

– 3¼ cups all-purpose flour

– ½ cup rice flour

Instructions:

1. Place butter in a mixer and beat until very light and fluffy. Add sugar gradually and continue to beat until creamy.

2. Sift or mix all-purpose flour with rice flour and combine. Add to butter mixture and stir in by hand or on low speed, just until flour is incorporated. DO not overmix.

3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls (If your dough is too soft you can refrigerate it for an hour before baking). Place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Press down with cookie press. Bake in a preheated convection oven at 275F oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until ever so lightly browned around the edges. Cool on racks. Yum.
