Instructions
Cardamom Orange Rice Flour Cookies
- Using an electric mixer, mix together butter and powdered sugar.
- Add the egg and the orange zest and combine.
- Add the remaining ingredients, rice flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom, in 2-3 batches while mixing to combine. A soft dough should form.
- Place the dough on plastic wrap and flatten into a 1 inch disk. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 300F.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
- Dust your workstation and rolling pin with rice flour. Gently roll out the dough until it's about 1/4 inch thick. If the dough cracks and is difficult to handle, let it rest for a few minutes to warm up a bit. If the dough is sticky, continue to dust with rice flour.
- Use a cookie cutter to stamp out desired shape and place the shaped cookie dough onto the lined baking pan, about 1 inch apart.
- Bake at 300F for about 8-10 minutes until the bottom edges start turning a light golden color. Cool on the baking pan.
Icing Glaze
- Mix all the icing ingredients in a bowl. Stir to remove any lumps.
- Spoon the icing over the cooled cookies. Allow to dry and set.
