Shortbread - easy to make and she can help with the kneading and rolling and then the cutting out I use the recipe on the side of the box of McKenzies rice flour and they are really yummy.
Sift flours into a bowl and add sugar, rub in butter and knead till smooth paste forms (I usually do this first part in the food processor til I get fine crumbs, then turn it out to knead it). Turn onto floured board/surface and roll. Cut out shapes as desired. Place on cold, greased tray and cook in a slow oven for 3/4 to an hr or until pale golden brown.
As an alternative, I also like to chop up glace cherries and gently press them onto the shapes to decorate before putting in the oven, or I make traffic lights - cut the dough into a rectangle and use the red/yellow/green ones for lights.
