Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup butter softened; 1 cup confectioners' sugar; 1 egg; 1 teaspoon almond extract; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt; slivered almonds approximately 3/4 cup; strawberry jam

Servings: persons

1 cup butter softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
slivered almonds approximately 3/4 cup
strawberry jam

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and lightly grease baking sheets.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Beat together with an electric mixer; gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, continually beating; refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes.
3
Remove dough from refrigerator in small amounts. Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon at a time onto a piece of waxed paper. Use the waxed paper to roll the dough into a thin finger-shaped cookie. Press one slivered almond into one end of each cookie to give the appearance of a long fingernail. Squeeze cookie near the tip and again near the center of each to give the impression of knuckles. You can also cut into the dough with a sharp knife at the same points to help give a more finger-like appearance. Arrange the shaped cookies on the baking sheets.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, 20 to 25 minutes.
5
Remove the almond from the end of each cookie and carefully spread a bit of jam on the tip of each finger. Replace the almond to cause the jam to ooze out around the tip of the cookie.
