Time 2h45m

Yield about 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups rice flour
1/2 cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Whisk the rice flour and coconut in a small bowl. Beat the butter, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, the salt and vanilla seeds in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg, then beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Cover and refrigerate until the dough is no longer sticky, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Roll heaping tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and arrange 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Bake the cookies until set and lightly browned on the bottom, about 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
  • Put the remaining 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Gently roll the warm cookies in the confectioners' sugar and return to the baking sheet. Reroll the cookies in the confectioners' sugar, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
