Notes
*Ghee: There’s a long standing debate about whether or not ghee should be considered dairy, so I leave it up to you whether or not you want to use ghee. Since ghee is clarified butter with the milk proteins, sugars and water removed, it can be considered paleo-friendly because it’s the oil from the butter and doesn’t contain the lactose and milk solids. If you feel differently, then unfortunately this recipe might not be for you. If you're not strictly paleo but are vegan, you can also substitute vegan butter.Extract Choice: Using almond extract instead of vanilla extract gives it more of a sugar cookie flavor!Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (but in my experience, it'll be eaten long before that!)
