Valentine's Day Heart Cookies (Makes 24)

1/4 cup butter, canola oil spread, or margarine

2 tablespoons honey 1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 1/4 cups brown rice flour

3 tablespoons potato starch

2 tablespoons tapioca flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon xanthum gum

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

1 large egg white

*available at natural food stores

Have all ingredients at room temperature. Blend thoroughly in food

processor until mixture forms large clumps. Shape into ball, cover, and

refrigerate for 1 hour. Or, freeze the dough in log shape and bake cookies

later.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Divide dough in half; keep remaining half

covered. Roll to 1/4-inch thickness between sheets of waxed paper or plastic

wrap sprinkled with rice flour. Cut cookies with heart-shaped, metal cookie

cutters. Transfer to ungreased, nonstick baking sheet. Repeat with remaining

dough. For easy handling, roll dough on parchment paper or Teflon baking

liners, cut out cookies, remove scraps, and transfer liner-cookies and

all-to baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes before moving

from pan. Cool thoroughly before decorating
