Ingredients

• 2 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rice flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Sift the all-purpose flour, rice flour, and salt into the creamed mixture. Mix well until a soft dough forms.
4. Press the dough evenly into an ungreased 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan.
5. Using a fork, prick the surface of the dough all over to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the shortbread is lightly golden.
7. Remove from the oven and immediately cut the shortbread into fingers or squares while it is still warm.
8. Allow the cookies to cool completely in the pan before removing and serving.
