These short bread cookies have that light crispy … amazing flavour that I remember from BEFORE being diagnosed with celiac disease. They only have four ingredients and are so quick and easy to make.
There are gluten free powdered sugars with the GF label. Make sure you find one of those or you can grind sugar in a blender to make it into a fine powder. I recently used some Rogers icing sugar and was horribly ill, even though the website says gluten-free but there was no GF label on the package.
I broke one of my own rules… which is to only buy products with a gluten-free claim on the packaging because of the issue of cross-contamination.
Recipe was passed on from a friend so I am not sure of the origin.

Hi there,
You should report an illness from a product that you suspect had gluten in it. Just because a product isn’t labelled “gluten free” does not mean that the product is allowed to have gluten in it. This should be reported to the CFIA. Recalls are done for products with undeclared allergens all the time.
Hi Erin. Thanks I never thought of that
They look very yummy. Where can you get sweet rice flour?
I found it at a bulk barn in Kelowna. I think amazon has it too. It’s just ground sticky white rice
