Butter

1 cup, softened

Confectioners' sugar

1 cup

Egg

1

Salt

1 tsp

Almonds

3/4 cup

Almond extract

1 tsp

Vanilla extract

1 tsp

All-purpose flour

2 2/3 cups

Baking powder

1 tsp

Red decorating gel

1 (.75 oz) tube (optional)

In a bowl, combine softened butter, almond extract, confectioners' sugar, egg, and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients together. Continually beating, add all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 325° F (160° C/Gas mark 3). Prepare baking sheets by greasing them.
Scoop 1 tsp dough at a time onto waxed paper. Roll into a finger-shaped cookie, using the waxed paper. To make fingernails, press 1 nut into one end of each cookie. To make knuckles, squeeze near the tip and near the center. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 20 minutes, until golden.
Then, remove the nuts from the cookies. Add some decorating gel into the cavities. Put the nuts back. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy your Witches' Fingers cookies!
Note: You can substitute red decorating gel with melted chocolate. Melt ½ cup chocolate chips with 1 tsp shortening, apply a bit of the chocolate to the fingernails, and then attach almonds to the chocolate.
