Rice and milk shortbread cookies are delicious biscuits, perfect for breakfast or a snack with a cup of milk or tea. I made these cookies using all-purpose flour and rice flour; then I added milk and butter (you will find substitutions in the ingredients to make them lactose-free) and flavored with honey and vanilla extract. These cookies, once baked, will fill the kitchen with an irresistible aroma!

Steps
To make the rice and milk shortbread cookies, pour the flours and baking powder into a bowl.
Then add the sugar, honey, and butter (at room temperature) cut into cubes, and start kneading.
Next, add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Continue kneading until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Then transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
With a square cutter (or any shape you prefer), cut out cookies and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Poke a hole in the center of each cookie with a smaller cutter; I used a triangular cutter.
With the leftover dough, roll out another sheet and cut out more cookies, proceeding in the same way.
Bake the shortbread cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
You can store the rice and milk shortbread cookies in a tin box or under a glass dome for a week. Enjoy!
