<li>&nbsp;3/4 cup softened butter</li><li>&nbsp;1/2 cup xyltiol sugar-free icing sugar (*see below for how to make this simple icing sugar!)</li><li>&nbsp;1 tsp pure vanilla extract</li><li>&nbsp;1 cup rice flour</li><li>&nbsp;1/2 cup tapioca starch/flour</li></ul><p>*Pour a bag of xylitol into a high powered food processor and pulse (intermittently if continuous pulsing does not breakdown the granules properly) until all the sugar becomes a fine powder.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: rgb(127, 127, 127);">This is gluten-free baking at it's finest. They're sugar-free too, but who's telling? These cookies are a perfect copycat of traditional shortbread cookies, only 5 ingredients, and 100% kid approved!</span></strong></p><p><img src="https://store-hxaoh.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/shortbread-cookies-oc.jpg" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; width: 310px;"></p><p>(Makes 20-24 Cookies, Depending on Size of Cutouts)</p><p><em>Ingredients:</em></p><ul>
<li>&nbsp;3/4 cup softened butter</li><li>&nbsp;1/2 cup xyltiol sugar-free icing sugar (*see below for how to make this simple icing sugar!)</li><li>&nbsp;1 tsp pure vanilla extract</li><li>&nbsp;1 cup rice flour</li><li>&nbsp;1/2 cup tapioca starch/flour</li></ul><p>*Pour a bag of xylitol into a high powered food processor and pulse (intermittently if continuous pulsing does not breakdown the granules properly) until all the sugar becomes a fine powder. This sugar free icing sugar works great in baking, but not for actual icing. (Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol derived from birch bark, fruits and vegetables, and tastes sweet like sugar but no sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream.)</p><ul>
