I used these at a Halloween party I catered last year. They turned out so good. It's creepy how life like they are!
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. almond
1 tsp. vanilla
2 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. salt
sliced almonds (paint red with food coloring paste mixed with water, if desired. I used a new paintbrush.)
Cream butter & sugar together, add other ingredients (except almond slices), & chill for 30 minutes. Once chilled, take out about 1/4 of the dough at a time to work with and leave the rest in the fridge. Roll dough into 'finger' shapes and place on lightly greased cookie sheets. I press them down a little and press in where the knuckles would be. Using the back of a butter knife, make knuckle marks. Then place the sliced almond on for the finger nail. Bake @ 325° for 15 minutes or until they're just starting to brown on the edges. As soon as you take them out of the oven press the almond slice down at the 'bed' of the nail to reinforce it.
