Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ cup butter at room temperature, unsalted
  • ¾ cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • tsp salt
  • ¼ cup raspberry jam as needed
  • 30 almond pick out the ones that aren't broken, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃).
  2. Cream butter and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Gradually add flour, baking powder and salt to the mixture.
  4. Refrigerate the dough for about half an hour, so it's not too soft to handle.
  5. Begin by taking pieces of dough and rolling into a thin "finger" shape. They can be long and thin or fat and short, they all look great in the end. Make them a little crooked for a more authentic "witch" look.
  6. Use a knife to make the knuckle marks and then an indentation for the fingernail.
  7. Place on silicone sheet lined baking tray about 2" apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Cool on rack.
  8. Put a little jam on the nail bed and add an almond slice. Store in tin.

Notes

  • Make the night before or early in the day so jam has time to set/dry a little before serving or packaging.
