Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup almonds whole blanched
- 1 tube red decorator gel
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture.
- Divide the dough into sections, wrapping each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Work with one section of dough at a time, leaving the rest in the fridge to keep cool. Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into finger shapes.
- Press an almond into one end of each dough finger to resemble a nail.
- Pipe red decorator gel around the 'nail' to give a bloody appearance.
- Use a small knife to make knuckle marks and lines on the fingers.
- Place shaped cookies onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
