| 1 cup | | Butter, softened | | | 1 cup | | Icing sugar | | | 1 | | Egg | | | 1 tsp | | Almond extract | | | 1 tsp | | Vanilla | | | 2 2/3 cups | | Flour | | | 1 tsp | | Baking powder | | | 1 tsp | | Salt | | | 3/4 cup | | Almonds, whole blanched | | | 1 | | Tube red decorator gel | |
| | (optional) | | | |
| |
| 1 | In bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg, almond extract and vanilla. Beat in flour, baking soda, 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. | | 2 | 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. | | 3 | Remove from baking sheets and let cool on racks. Repeat with remaining dough. | |
