Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. ghee or clarified butter
  • 1/3 c. powdered sugar
  • 1-1 1/4 c. flour
  • 24 almond slivers

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl cream together the ghee and powdered sugar until smooth and sticky.
  • Add in one cup of flour and mix for 2-3 minutes or until the dough is smooth. If too sticky add a touch more flour. Be careful not to use too much as the cookies will not cook as well.
  • Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes to soften it and make it stick together.
  • Roll the dough into 12 balls. Push down in the center gently. The edges should not crack.
  • Press 2 almond slivers into the center of the cookie.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cookies are set.
  • Remove to a wire rack and cool completely.
