In another bowl, mix 1.5 cups of clarified butter, 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla, and 1.5 teaspoons of plain whole milk yogurt.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients gradually until a dry texture is achieved.

Cover the dough and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Roll out the dough to about half an inch thick and cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a coffee cup.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
