Instructions
- In stand mixer cream the ghee and powdered sugar together. The mixture will look white and fluffy. Very similar to creamed butter.
- Add the salt and flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. You’ll end up with a slightly sticky dough.
- Remove half the dough for the plain cookies and add a happy sprinkling of cocoa to the remaining half.
- Place each dough in saran wrap and pat into square discs. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before shaping.
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Working with one disc at a time, slice into even squares. Then roll each square in your hand until a ~1″ ball forms.
- Press a clove or a pine nut into the center.
- Place on a lined cookie sheet and back for 3-6 minutes
Recipe Notes
Ghee is available at the supermarket, usually near the regular butter.
If you’d prefer a sweeter cookie, you could add more sugar and just use less flour.
