Severed Fingers Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg, almond extract and vanilla. Beat in flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Working with one quarter of the dough at a time and keeping remainder refrigerated, roll heaping teaspoonful of dough into finger shape for each cookie.
  • Press almond firmly into 1 end for nail.
  • Squeeze in centre to create knuckle shape.
  • Using paring knife, make slashes in several places to form knuckle.
  • Place on lightly greased baking sheets; bake in 325F (160C) oven for 20-25 minutes or until pale golden.
  • Let cool for 3 minutes.
  • Lift up almond, squeeze red decorator gel onto nail bed and press almond back in place, so gel oozes out from underneath.
  • You can also make slashes in the finger and fill them with "blood." Remove from baking sheets and let cool on racks.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Makes about 60 cookies.
