Modern Shortbread
http://rebeccmeister.livejournal.com/480383.html

Ingredients
1/2 C butter at room temperature
1/3 C unsifted powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. rice flour (can be found at certain large Oriental supermarkets)
1 C flour, unsifted

Directions:
The directions are about as clever as you imagined: cream cream, mix mix, chazill, bake, eat. Cream butter. Cream in sugar. Mix flours, then mix into butter mixture. Knead into a ball. Cha-zill for 30 minutes (that means put in refrigerator). Roll into a 1/2-inch thick cookie and place on an ungreased cookie sheet or into a shortbread mold. Prick evenly with a fork and bake at 325 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. If you forget to prick it, the world won't come to an end, you'll just have bubbles in your shortbread. Resist urge to eat entire cookie upon removal from oven. Store in a cute, decorative tin, and snack surreptitiously when your cat isn't watching.
