--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1              pound  butter -- softened
  1                cup  superfine sugar
  3               cups  flour
  1                cup  white rice flower
                        powdered sugar

Preparation:

Work the butter with an electric mixer until it is smooth and creamy. Then gradually work in the sugar, creaming thoroughly. Sift in the flours a little at a time, mixing in quickly. Lightly dust two sheets of wax paper with powdered sugar. Roll out one-third of the dough between the two sheets until it is 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Cut dough with a deep cookie cutter. (I use one with fluted edges that measures 1-5/6 inch on the cutting edge.) Place cookies in an ungreased cookie sheet. Prick several times with a fine-tined fork all the way through. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 5 minutes, then at 300 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes: 6 dozen small cookies.
