If you have made your own clarified butter, you will want to stick it in the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes until it is firm. Then with a stand mixer, combine the sugar and butter together and mix thoroughly.

Add flour and mix thoroughly again.Chill dough in parchment paper for 30 minutes before handling. Take a small egg-size shape of dough and roll into about a 4 inch rope.

Then shape the rope into a circle and press a halved almond where the rope connects. These cookies are also traditionally made into "S" shape cookies.

Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 17-20 minutes. Let cookie rest on cookie sheet until completely cool or they will crumble apart.
