Ingredients

<strong>Cookie Ingredients:</strong>
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 tablepoons Icing Glue (see below)
<strong>Icing Glue Ingredients:</strong>
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon water

  • 1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until smooth and creamy.
  • 2. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • 3. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and beat until completely mixed.
  • 4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • 5. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • 6. With your hands, roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a finger shape for each cookie. If the dough gets sticky and hard to work with, put it back in the refrigerator for a little while. Place fingers on an ungreased cookie sheet about 3 inches
  • 7. Use a butter knife to make knuckle marks on the finger cookies. Slightly flatten the front of the finger to create a nail.
  • 8. Bake 20-25 minutes, until fingers are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool. Meanwhile, prepare the Icing Glue. Mix together powdered sugar and water in a small bowl until the consistency is similar to that of a paste.
  • 9. Attach almond slice fingernails to the tips of the fingers with Icing Glue. Let glue dry for about 30 minutes.
