INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • 1 cup butter, softened
    • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon almond extract
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • ¾ cup whole almonds

STEPS

1

Place softened butter, sugar, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl; beat together until smooth. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt, continually beating until combined; refrigerate dough for 20 to 30 minutes.

2

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease baking sheets.

3

Remove dough from refrigerator in small amounts. Roll 1 heaping teaspoon of dough at a time into thin finger-shaped cookies. Press one almond into one end for a fingernail appearance. Squeeze cookie near the tip and center to mimic knuckles. Cut slight marks with a sharp knife if desired.

4

Arrange shaped cookies on baking sheets and bake until slightly golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.

5

Remove almond from each cookie end; squeeze jam or red decorating gel into the cavity. Replace almond to create oozing effect around the tip.
