Ingredients
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 18 almond slices
Instructions
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the powdered sugar and the butter until smooth and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and the almond extract and mix to combine.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until it all comes together. The dough should be fairly stiff and not overly sticky. If it is too sticky, add a little bit more flour.
- Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Remove the dough from the plastic wrap and divide into 18 pieces. Form each piece into a finger shape and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat liner. Use a butter knife to create creases for the knuckles and a small indent at the end where the almond will go for the fingernail.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF while the dough is in the freezer.
- Remove from the freezer and bake until the cookies are just starting to brown on the bottom, about 20 minutes. Remove and let the cookies cool completely.
- Once cool, place a dab of jam on the end of each cookie, the place an almond for the fingernail.
