Welcome to the perfect recipe of a fool-proof naturally gluten free shortbread cookies recipe. This recipe involves almonds that give a fine elegant touch to the dough taste. I already made these biscuits for non gluten free people and no one ever notices any difference.

This is a basic recipe that you can customize and adapt to your favorite flavors. Needless to say, these cookies are a great gift for Christmas or birthdays. Or any other time you have to come up with a last minute homemade present. The ingredients involve only naturally gluten free flours you probably already have in your pantry.

The same dough of these naturally gluten free shortbread cookies is perfect to make a jam pie (like an Italian Crostata). However, in that case you should use only half of the sugar.
