G'day Terrri, As promised :-) here are the two recipes I have for the flaked rice biscuits (cookies). Down here in Oz it is now known as pressed rice, you may find it by that name in an Indian grocery store. If not perhaps the infant flaked rice you mentioned would work - Good luck, and happy eating.

FLAKED RICE CRISPS

Cream - 6 ozs butter & 6 ozs sugar
Add - 1 egg, 8 ozs self-rising flour, 1 & 1/2 cups flaked rice
Then - 1 Tablespoon chopped walnuts and almond essence (to taste)
Place - teaspoonfulls onto a greased oven tray & flatted with a fork.
Bake - in a moderate oven till golden brown (about 10 to 12 minutes)

I can't take almond essence so I omit it from this recipe, so I am unable to say how much you may need. Possibly only a few drops I should imagine.

FLAKED RICE BISCUITS

Plus - 2 cups self-rising flour, mix well
Lastly - 2 cups flaked rice, mix well. The mixture must not feel wet to the
touch.
Roll - into balls, about 1" in diameter.
