Gluten Free Shortbread Cookie Mix Directions

Contributed by: Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods

Basic directions for making the Gluten Free Shortbread Cookie Mix.

  • 1 - 21 oz pkgs (4 cups) GF Shortbread Cookie Mix
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter or Buttery Spread cut into 8 pieces
  • 1 large Egg Yolk+
  • 2 Tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter on medium speed for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Beat in egg yolk, then beat in water. On low speed, beat in cookie mix in 3 stages; first 1/2 cup, then half of the cookie mix, and then remaining cookie mix, until thoroughly blended. Dough will look dry and crumbly.

Step 3

Gather dough into ball with hands and massage until very smooth. Divide dough in half and wrap half in plastic wrap.
Place remaining dough on parchment paper, then top with plastic wrap. Roll to 1/4-inch, cit with cookies cutter or biscuit cutter to make 2-inch cookies and place on inch apart on baking sheet. Reroll scraps of dough; cut again to make 18 cookies.

Step 4

Bake on middle rack of oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cookies just start to brown around edges. Cool cookies on wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from baking sheet to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

Makes 36 cookies.

Notes

*Eggless Option: Instead of the egg yolk and 2 Tb water, add 1/4 cup Milk (Cow, Soy Rice).

I tried this recipe and the cookies are too dry and taste floury. Anything I can add so not so dry and tasteless?

The use of one whole egg or two yolks instead of a single yolk will increase the moisture in this mix. Feel free to add flavors to this mix as you desire - vanilla or almond extract, cinnamon and other spices, etc. This is a great base cookie that is easily personalized.

step 3 is a little confusing to me, adding a video will be very useful for further reference. Thank you

ike: After wrapping 1/2 of the total amount of dough, set it aside. Roll out the other 1/2 inbetween parchment paper & plastic wrap, then cut out cookies w/cookie cutter. Repeat this step until dough is nearly gone. Then use the other 1/2 of dough the same way. HTH.
