- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
- 30 whole cloves
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Mix sugar and ghee together until creamy; stir in vanilla extract and baking powder. Add flour in small batches until dough is thickened and combined.
- Roll dough into walnut-size balls and place 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Flatten slightly and press a clove into the center.
- Bake in the preheated oven until ivory, 10 to 20 minutes. Cool on the sheets for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, about 10 to 20 minutes.
