1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1/2 cup white rice flour (Bob's Red Mill)
3 cups cake and pastry flour (Swans Down)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup warm water

In a large bowl, cream butter with a wooden spoon until very smooth. Gradually pour in the flours and sugar. Mix until mixture is even. Add warm water and mix until dough becomes stiff enough to roll out onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead the dough for about two minutes. Then place dough into a floured bowl, cover with Saran or plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.

Preheat oven to 300°F (slow).

Roll dough to about 1/4-inch thick. Use cookie cutters to make shapes. Put your shapes on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 300°F for 18 to 20 minutes.

Variation: For an extra treat, after baking sprinkle some granulated sugar on your cookies.

Enjoy!
