Aunt susie's scottish shortbread
MAKES 60 (1-1/2-INCH) SQUARES
1 pound butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups white rice flour
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, sift together flours. Slowly add flour mixture to butter and mix until well-combined.
Press dough into a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Prick surface of dough with the tines of a fork and place in a preheated 250-degree oven for 40 minutes. Increase oven to 325 degrees and continue to bake just until very light brown, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from oven and place pan on a wire cooling rack. Slice dough into small squares while dough is still warm. Cool completely in pan before removing cookies. Store in airtight container.
