Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp brandy extract (optional)
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • almonds
  • strawberry jam
  • green food coloring

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, egg, vanilla and brandy extract until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flours and baking powder. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325˚F. Lightly spray baking sheets.
  • Form the dough into fingers, pinching each piece of dough in two places to create knuckles. Use the back of a paring knife to create the appearance of the surface of a knuckle.
  • Dip the almonds in the strawberry jam and press into the tip of each finger cookie.
  • Bake for around 20 minutes. If the cookies have lost shape, gently reform while still warm.
