Number of Servings: 110

Ingredients

    1 cup salted butter, softened
    1/2 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
    2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
    1/4 cup rice flour
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 350*F.

1) Cream together butter, icing sugar and vanilla and in bowl.

2) Add flours and salt to butter mixture. Stir well with a fork or wooden spoon until mixture is combined. Kneed mixture with your hands to form a sturdy dough - should be wet enough to stick together but dry enough that you would never be able to roll it out.

3) Roll dough into small balls (a little under 2 tsp of dough per ball), place about 2 inches apart on a non-stick cookie sheet and press gently with a fork about half way down. Top each with a little colored sugar or sprinkles.

4) Bake for 6-8 min - WATCH CLOSELY. These cookies should not brown on top and should be *very* lightly browned on the bottom. Remove immediately from cookie sheet and transfer to a cooling rack when done.

Serving Size: Makes about 110 small cookies
